This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Wim, If the block is cracked, I would put the 3/8", that is .3750", plug in = with epoxy. This does go into the crack. There is still a reasonable amount of wood left. I like the feel of it = better than the straight epoxy. It all boils down to how much time the piano is worth.

My method actually puts epoxy in = the cracks, which hopefully stops the crack from getting worse.
