I am about to replace my first open-faced pinblock. It is a 100+ year =
old 6'4" Knabe grand. My question is how best to re-locate the tuning =
pin holes. I can easily imagine an assortment of approaches that should =
work - paper tracings, marked-up mylar, etc. - but I can also imagine =
these approaches to have some introduced error also. Maybe the best is =
to do the tracing or mylar and just correct as needed.

But I'm also sure that many of you have been through this and have a =
better feel for what works and what doesn't. The original tuning pin =
array was very nicely spaced for good string lay/spacing, etc., so I =
would like to maintain the original. Any ideas would be greatly =
appreciated.
