<DIV>I have begun rebuilding my first piano. It is an upright player. Upon
removing the plate from the piano, the pinblock and soundboard fell out. (Almost
all the glue joints on the piano have come loose, so this is not that
surprising) Anyway, the old pinblock measures 1 3/4 inch thick. After going
through the supply house catalogs (Schaff and Pianotek)
the thickest new pinblock obtainable was 1 1/2 inch. What should
I do to obtain the original thickness? Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated as I lack experience in this regard.</DIV>

<DIV>P.S. What glue is recommended for regluing the upright frame? I was
thinking epoxy. </DIV>
