My point was that someone could have caused the delamination by driving tuning pins without support in the field, and that my experience was that the pins could be loose because of the drilling problem brought to my attention by samick. If your opinion is that a sagging or delaminated block HAS to be a production problem , I respectfully disagree. Yes the saging block can cause loose tuning pin problems, but perhaps it was caused by someone driving pins improperly BECAUSE they were already loose. This piano will probably never get a new block, at least as long as its owned by a restaurant, which brought to mind a possible C.A. repair suggestion. If it fails you're no worse off and the next owner can consider a proper rebuild.
