<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I received an interesting e-mail today. Did everyone
receive this e-mail or just me? I've never even heard of this. If
not, then these folks must have found me on an online ad I had promoting
my piano tuning. What do you guys think? I'm not a dealer, but maybe
someone out there is and has heard of this.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have a question regarding a
procedure for removing a Hardman pin block. I have replaced blocks before, but
this one appears to have been installed using a slightly different technique.
While being doweled and glued to the inner rim shelf, there is also a mortise
or rabbet under the stretcher that the pin block material is let into. The
veneer on the front of the stretcher at each end, leads me to suspect that the
block / stretcher were originally installed as a unit. Not really wanting to
remove the stretcher, I’m wondering if I could simply cut the block out in the
normal fashion (router and big bit), leaving the part of the old block that is
under the stretcher intact and gluing the new block to that. This is
complicated by the presence of a large cove cut in the bottom of the block /
stretcher for fallboard clearance. I’m hoping that some one has done
this before, and can offer a procedure that has worked in the
past.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
