All I got the idea of adding Delgnit bridge cap material as a top covering on my pin blocks from Ron N & Yamaha blocks & luved it. So 2 or 4 months ago I asked Bob Marinelli at Piano tech to get Andre to make this new type block as a Bolduc alternative to the more expensive Bolduc blocks,which are beautiful but not feasable for many econo type jobs. I didn't expect this so soon but here it is. Must have been in the works already. This isn't zzzzactly what I had in mind but it's along those lines. Haven't used one yet. I wish he had not put the thin layers in the middle of the block. I have used several of the the Burkel blocks which looks similar & it has 3 ....10 mm laminations of flat sawn maple, capped with the rotary cut thin top cap pieces. This is also a very nice feeling block & a double panel is $389.00. The new Bolduc block is approx $400.00 That's all I know Dale Anyone seen the new Bolduc "hybrid" pinblock? (runs on bio-diesel?) > From the photo, looks similar in some ways to what Ron N. and > others are trying to acheive, by laminating a top layer of Delignit (or similar) onto standard pinblock stock.
