<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial>I'm not =
sure I
understand what you are describing Marcel. The tuning pins at one =
time were
really tight - were they really tight after the fire - they were =
still
tight? Ok, so we removed them. Now the "<FONT size=2>original pins =
do go
through the block after removal. It seems removing the pins really =
enlarge
the hole...</FONT><FONT size=3>". Are you saying that after =
removing a
tuning pin it will fall through the hole in the pinblock? I do =
believe that
under normal circumstances that after removing a tuning pin and =
trying to
re-install it, one would find that it would have less torque, but it =
certainly would not fall through the pinblock. Have you removed the =
plate? I
might be concerned about the condition of the pinblock - could the =
fire have
baked it in some unfortunate way? And if the pinblock got hot enough =
to get
damaged, what about the rest of the piano?????</FONT></FONT></DIV>
