The answers I received so far ignored the fact that the pinblock to plate flange fit had gaps in it and implied that frequent tunings is the only solution. What I need to know is if there is a situation where the pinblock to plate fit doesn=B9t matter. This is contrary to all I=B9ve been told and all I=B9ve read about over the years. All replies will be appreciated. Ted Simmons What=B9s the latest on whether or not a pinblock should butt against the plat= e flange? I have a customer who has a rebuilt piano that won=B9t hold tune for even a day and when I removed the action and checked the pinblock-to-plate fit I found gaps throughout, some as much as 1/8 inch. Two weeks after I tuned it I found it over 20 cents flat and had to give it a pitch raise. A few weeks later it was overly flat again and in need of a pitch raise. I explained to the customer about the pinblock to plate flange fit but he sai= d that he was told by the rebuilder that such a thing was not important. To top it off he did some research and got conflicting comments. Some said th= e piano is OK as is while others held to the conviction that the gaps in the pinblock are the problem with his piano. I need some backup in my assessment, either pro or con. Ted Simmons Viera, Florida ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
