I have a question that probably has an obvious answer, but I may be a little leery of that answer. I have replace pin blocks on several makes of piano, and I have restrung several S&S's. Now I have a Steinway ("M" I think) that has a pin block with the laminations seperating. There are no obvious screws to remove the block. Do I drill out what look like dowels on the treble end and then cut/chisel/pry or whatever it takes, or is there a less violent way to get the old one out? Also, I was considering Delegnit instead of a S&S hexplank, is that a reasonable substitute? Thanks, and if I make it to KC, I hope to meet some of you in person. John Stroup South Bend, Ind.
