I agree, Holly! I've asked what I thought were straight forward questions, and then it has turned into a long discussion or debate, if you will, as to best resolve. I agree with previous posts that for the time being, push them in and tighten screws, but take care not to disrupt the felt. then you're in for a bigger job! :>) Paul "David Boyce" <David at piano.plus.com> Sent by: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org 09/03/2008 03:13 PM Please respond to Pianotech List <pianotech at ptg.org> To "Pianotech List" <pianotech at ptg.org> cc Subject Re: center repinning question Holly, I don't think you need EVER be embarrassed to ask a question on this list! One of the wonderful aspects of this place is the willingness of everyone, vastly experienced workers and beginners alike, to share solutions and to help those who want to learn. Over the years I've been on here this has struck me again and again, and I have learned such a lot. >From what you say about the pins and the loose hammer butt plates, I'd be inclined to do as you suggest, slide the pins back in, and tighten the butt plates. The only thing, of course, is to take care that the flange bushing doesn't get damaged by the end of the pin going back in. If they're gliding back in quite nicely, just go for it!
