Are you shoring up the pin block when you drive the pins. What is holding up the pins is the glue you put in before. It has created a barrier. At this point, considering that the piano needs a new pin block, for which the customer probably doesn't want to pay, leaving the pins above the rest is fine. It looks bad, but as long as those string hold, that is all that is important. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
