My first pinblock

[Kevin E. Ramsey]

Here, Here! I just took a class at the Arizona State Seminar last weekend.
It was on installing pin-blocks and was given by John Gottschalk. He taught
the method of using datum holes to line up your work. I think that this is
the way Steinway recommends that it be done, because he got it from the
Steinway tech at ASU, Brent Fischer. It was a good class. Sorry if you
missed it.
