<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's one of those Pleyel from end 19 =
th century
with an open face pinblock. Many of them have the upper lamination =
cracked in
the tenor section from the left to the right and have the tuning pins =
bent
foreward. Specially the pins closest to the keyboard are =
concerned.
I'll send a picture if I find out how to work with my new digital
camera.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have used epoxy in this =

exactly how is it cracked?</FONT></DIV>
