i actually wasn't replacing the pins, just driving the one that were already there. *"Why are you driving them so far through the block? When they go that far, they must be pushing the jack away from the block.*" i made the mistake of not checking whether they were too long or not. i had done that two or three times before on other pianos, but the pins were short enough that they didn't protrude through the bottom of the PB, so i forgot to check. oops. ** *Do you have a support between the keybed and the floor?* yes i did have support between the keybed and the floor...the piano legs. (SORRY, JUST KIDDING.) i used my pinblock support, the kind with two pieces of laminated hardwood two large bolts. i had a piece of high density fiberboard between the support and the keybed. *"...you owe your customer a new pinblock as well."* *"Sorry, but I'd say that this block is a do-over."* well...crap. i guess there's really no way to tell if the damage is deeper than the first lamination. so it sounds like most everyone's professional opinion is to put in a new PB? daniel carlton -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
