<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>I have also used the method, you suggest, from the
front. The eyescrews, go into the side panel, as you are trying to draw the
board toward the front. Then a drywall screw, with an aggressive thread, not the
fine thread ones as they tend to strip the hole, goes through the eye, into the
sound board, and pulls it back. When the glue dries, or on your next visit
remove the screws, and plastic wood, may be used to tidy up the hole, if
needed.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3> If there is access enough then it is a simple matter
to drill a pilot hole for dry wall screws thru the board from the back of the
piano & into the soundboard liner. Get some glue into the joint any
way possible & then screw it down. The screws are the
clamp.</FONT></DIV>

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I have
a customer with a studio piano where the top of the soundboard has <BR>come
unglued from the back frame.It seems to be only in the middle of the
<BR>soundboard. You can only get to this area from the back of the piano.
Are <BR>there any good repairs for this? I have heard of using screweyes in
the back <BR>and running screws through them into the soundboard to pull the
soundboard <BR>back in place while the glue dries. I have never done this
and just wondered <BR>if it works? Any information will be
helpful.<BR> Thanks, Steve Sandstrom</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
