"...and she is talking about a Steinway!"

Hexigrip pinblock? Do we know what year it is? Is there that much =
difference between three grain angles and two? I guess I'm wondering =
what is the significance of this?

  But Don,
  Barbara (as far as I know) did not mention a crack.

  Now, I must tell you that hardly anybody on this side of the pond uses =
CA glue for pin blocks.
  So, if there are no cracks (and she is talking about a Steinway!) why =
use CA glue?
  Modern pin blocks can easily take on over size tuning pins and =
according to me, an oversize tuning pin is much more reliable.
