Now Joe, don't hold back. Next time, be sure to say it with some feeling!

It might work if the pin is not too tight. Failing that, you can drill a hole from behind the piano and punch the pin out. I have also been told that you can grab the pin with a vice grip pliers and heat the pliers with a torch. Supposedly it will scorch the pinblock enough to release the pin. Be sure to take pictures for us!!!" ES, This is the kind of idiocy that drove me to take a sabbatical! I certainly wouldn't want you working on my piano! Sheesh! Get the correct tool and use it correctly! Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
