No, no noticeable sawdust looking stuff, just nothing holding the pin. The worst ones were not in any line either, kind of spread out all over. The piano is in pretty poor shape aside from the pinblock issues. My thoughts tend to lean toward replacing it. Any reason to hold out any hope for making it serviceable? William R.

Is there any evidence of little termite munchkins in the block? I have an old Knabe upright with a solid maple pinblock that probably weighs about three pound - the rest has been eaten!
