Hi All,

The Piano...well that is being generous 

A 4' 9" grand made by Mason & Risch some time before 1895, ivory keys in
mint condition

BUT pin block three layer...bottom layer mostly separated...like an 1/8 of
an inch.

Question:

Any point in removing the action, jacking up the delaminated layer, and
using CA glue copiously?

I can not honestly suggest the instrument is *worthy* of a replacement pin
block. There is little or no sentimental value folks.

Opinions please...and if you want to reply privately I will understand. *grin*
