open face pinblock

[Paul]

I can't remember the piano I saw with an open face pin block with burled
veneer. I had noticed that each tuning pin hole had a slight relief to it,
like someone had tapered the veneer with a countersink. Now that I've read
your post, I wonder if this "countersinking" wasn't done to protect the
delicate face veneer while driving pins.
