<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How exactly do you proceed with =
plugging a
pinblock?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an old grand without a cast iron =
plate which
has some cracks in the pinblock. Changing it with a new one would be =
very
complicated, as it seems to be embedded into the sides of the =
case and also
has the string terminations on it (with bridge pins - this piano =
has no
agraffes).</FONT></DIV>
