Rebuilding an upright

[Delwin D Fandrich]

. . . and this is the way I replace upright pinblocks. Works well, but don't
forget the dowels and/or screws.

| Al,
| Another pinblock option which the others have not mentioned 
| yet: If the original block is still well attached to the back 
| structure, rout out a cavity in the original block for each 
| section of tuning pins, and inset a piece of new pinblock.  
| Epoxy, screws, dowels, whatever makes you feel comfortable.  
| This lets you preserve the plate/pinblock relationship, 
| making soundboard/bridge alignment a lot less complicated, as 
| described by Del.
