[pianotech] Pinblock Separation Repair

[johnparham at piano88.com]

Tom,

Nice observation. I just did this same repair and decided to put the nut
on the front side instead of the back. I planned it so the carriage bolt
did not extend beyond the end of the tuning pins. I did not anticipate,
however, how it interfered with the small lit prop on the right
corner...I had to not only live and learn, but I had to hack-saw my way
out of my mistake.

By the way, please call me next time you pass through Hickory. We have a
guest room always ready.
