Tuning Pin Length?/Gordon Stelter

[Joseph Garrett]

Gordon,
And were those, "...I've found many open-faced blocks on Victorian
Pianos....", not sealed? Of course you haven't take them apart to see, but I
rather suspect that they were. Pianos made during that period, had
WOODWORKERS that really knew about WOOD. They were the best of all
woodworkers. They knew the way wood reacts and how to choose the wood for
the task. If more piano techs would learn an adequate knowlege of wood they
would better understand why it fails. Just MHO.
