I have.  Suspect every joint.</DIV> <DIV>  Dale</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> <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> </DIV> <DIV>Phillip Pardue</DIV> <DIV><A title=mailto:Hotwheelsp@aol.com href="mailto:Hotwheelsp@aol.com">Hotwheelsp@aol.com</A> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
