This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I took one of these Broadwood uprights apart recently. Had a 1 1/2" oak = pinblock with a 1/4" beech cross lamination capped by a veneer of maple = and cardboard to fit a 3/8"cast plate which only covered the block. The = hitchpin plates were very crudely made out of 1/4" iron screwed onto = beech. There were agraffes on the pinblock but their function was only = to space the strings as there were little brass wedges infront of them = acting as the actual terminations. The pins had a good inch in the wood = as well as the 3/8" in the iron. I think that it would have been quite = feasible to drill out the screw thread in the plate and use modern style = pins in this particular piano. But I cant say the same for the grands = with the same system as their cast pinblock plate is thicker.
