There is a distinct oddity about the piano which I suppose might ring a bell with someone. This piano has no pinblock. The tuning pins are driven into the plate only. The pins are split with brass wedges driven into them where they protrude through the underside of the plate. If anyone could help me with this mystery, I would appreciate it. Thank you for your time, Travis W. Jenkins Tulsa Chapter >> Travis, We have restored two or three pianos with this type of pin system. These all have been Wurlitzer pianos. I do not know if there are any other brands like this. David Koelzer DFW, Texas
