During those hours of fitting, I sometimes dream of ways to build some kind
of jig
(for a router, maybe) to make the pinblock to fit the plate Exactly and
precisely.
Perhaps with a CNC router...  Well, needless to say, I always get done
fitting the
pinblock before I work out the details... and don't think about it again
till the
next pinblock, at which time the thought process starts all over again, at
the
beginning...)

Hi Brian,
You're not that far off the mark. Schimmel apparently use a CNC machine to
fit pinblock to flange in their newer pianos. Check them out, it sure is
snug in there!
