I've recently run across two that have had pins driven >because they were loose in the block. Fran, Long time! How y'are? Vertical, or grand? That's the piano, not you. <G> The pins were driven, presumably because they were loose. Is the pinblock delaminating? Are the strings at the bottom of the coils resting on the plate? What to do ranges from doing nothing, through disconnecting strings, backing pins out some, reconnecting strings an CA ing the block, to condemning the piano(s) for rebuild or disposal. The first thing to do is determine what you have to work with and whether or not it's worth either patching, or correcting. So what are the details? Ron N
