It has long puzzled me why piano makers would go to such extremes when designing and fitting pinblocks. Brinsmead is not alone in this. We're working on a Kranich & Bach piano just now with another unnecessarily complex pinblock design. This thing has four separate twisted and convoluted levels -- each of which must be carefully fitted to a mating offset in the plate. These were not particularly great or expensive pianos yet constructing and fitting this pinblock clearly wasted considerable time and effort. Del, After spending a few months on one of these a while back I concluded thst K&B had no idea what was going on on the rest of the planet with regard to piano building, or perhaps they/he/she/it didn't care. I invisioned a crazy man making things anyway he could or wanted to perhaps to spite an unspecting subseqent generation. I think they were nuts, nothing wrong with that. He did it hiiissssss wayyyyy.
