Pinblocks - Good & Bad

[Farrell]

Please provide details such as thickness of laminations, how many laminations, cut of wood (flat sawn, quartered), grain orientation, etc. How old is the piano? Please describe any apparent movement of the tuning pins that appears related to string pull. Thanks bunches. And oodles.

Terry Farrell
