---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment =20 Ted What kind of piano & are if there are no plate bushings are the pins=20 touching the plate? Yamaha pianos have very little block contacting the flange. Ask any one=20 who has replced one. Dale I guess I didn=B9t explain myself too well in my previous post on pinblock=20 fitting. The answers I received so far ignored the fact that the pinblock=20= to=20 plate flange fit had gaps in it and implied that frequent tunings is the on= ly=20 solution. What I need to know is if there is a situation where the pinbloc= k=20 to plate fit doesn=B9t matter. This is contrary to all I=B9ve been told an= d all=20 I=B9ve read about over the years. All replies will be appreciated. Ted Simmons What=B9s the latest on whether or not a pinblock should butt against the pl= ate=20 flange? I have a customer who has a rebuilt piano that won=B9t hold tune f= or=20 even a day and when I removed the action and checked the pinblock-to-plate=20 fit I found gaps throughout, some as much as 1/8 inch. Two weeks after I tu= ned=20 it I found it over 20 cents flat and had to give it a pitch raise. A few=20 weeks later it was overly flat again and in need of a pitch raise. I expla= ined=20 to the customer about the pinblock to plate flange fit but he said that he=20 was told by the rebuilder that such a thing was not important. To top it o= ff=20 he did some research and got conflicting comments. Some said the piano is=20= OK=20 as is while others held to the conviction that the gaps in the pinblock are= =20 the problem with his piano. I need some backup in my assessment, either pr= o=20 or con. Ted Simmons Viera, Florida=20 =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
