David Love said: "Since the pinblock needs to be tightest at the top,
wouldn't it make sense to drill them from the bottom of the block? Double
drilling would make that

possible and then the slight bit of wandering and run out as you line up the

hole for the second pass would only impact the bottom of the hole and not

the top. Drill the first pass from the top and then flip the block over and

run the second pass from the bottom. Assumes, of course, that you don't

drill the block in the piano after it's installed."

 

 

David,

That also assumes that a person would drill the pinblock ALL the way
through.....Which I don't!<G> (with good reason, IMA)
