Seems to set OK, it just can't handle a test blow. I thought about sandpaper shim, but haven't do anything yet. I'll be curious what everyone else has to say about this. Bob Russell, RPT I've only seen this problem in an older G-3 that lived in the little Red church in sonora calif. Sonora is a very dry climate & after 20 years in that climate the pins would jump & pop all over the block. I mean like low torque, push, then pop slip. Setting the pins was well.. impossible. I restrung it with a bolduc block &fully fit the new block to the flange. Restrung with no plate bushings. It's fine. I guess the original beech block had suffered some kind of physical changes & who knows why. With Yamaha this is fairly rare.
