Unbelievable Workmanship

[David Love]

If this is a total rebuild with a new pinblock you may be able to leave the
action in place, remove strings and plate and then cut out the pinblock with
the Bolduc blade with the action in place.

Recently had this old O delivered to me. Some craftsman has managed to get
his too tall parts with screws above pinblock level into the action cavity.
It will take dynamite to get it out. This has got to take 1st prize. Piano
came from somewhere around Reno, NV. Before that El Cajon, CA. Hammer screws
in bass are past pinblock and 1/8 plus above. Ideas? Keybed removal. I may
make a modified body panel puller. I can't imagine someone forcing this into
the piano, everything is blocking presumably because of distortion of action
or simply the wrong parts. See attached photos for laughs.
