A few years ago replaced a 'plugged' block on a Bechstein. All the plugs shifted as the laminations sheered. I fit an inlay and constructed a new pin configuration starting with the impressions in the counter bearing bar. Since the tenor section was curved, I laid out the pin orientation in a 'pineapple' sweep. It looks rather nice.
