Hi Willem,
Like all repair methods, it may not work in all situations. I think that =
the 3/8" plug and the hole required, will not take too much from the =
plate integrity. If you feel it will weaken the plate, then don't do it, =
as you can't build the plate up again. Was that your question?

    Hi Tom,=20
    I forgot to say, there are two sizes of plugs. The one to use would =

    Good luck, it has worked for me. You could also epoxy them in as =

  I have a question regarding the plugs. I just fit and drilled a =
Baldwin grand=20
  block. Like a Steinway, this plate doesn't use plate bushings. The =

  holes are just big enough for a tuning pin. How do you plug one of =
these? I=20
  have heard you can drill out the plate, but how do you fix the plate =
