[pianotech] S&S K(52) Restoration

[Delwin D Fandrich]

I was thinking more of the block itself. I didn't realize until later that
you were planning to install inserts. Assuming the inserts are made of
reasonable pinblock stock there will be no need to allow for the tuning pins
to ride against the plate. Plate bushings, if used, will simply be
insurance.

What? And take away one of Steinway's undisclosed little secrets?

Unless Gene replaces the pinblock--or installs inserts--made of some
reasonable material he's going to need those small holes for the bottom of
the pins to rest against.

What is a reasonable material that is easy to create bushings from in a
lackluster shop?
