Yipes. I'm afraid there are some glaring issues. Not sure where to begin here. From appearances, it seems like heroics, in this case, may not be warranted. David Love www.davidlovepianos.com From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Noah Frere Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2013 12:55 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] First Pinbock I'm about to replace my first Pinblock. It's on Mini Piano named Gerard, and one can follow the progress here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.414081118675357.98495.146765508740 254 <https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.414081118675357.98495.14676550874 0254&type=1> &type=1 The pinblock severely pulled away from the posts. It is a 3/4 plate, and there are large gaps behind the pinblock with no support. That's my current concern. I had epoxied and bolted the pinblock a few years ago, and it held for a couple years. My plan is to reread Chuck's Replacing the Pinblock series which was published a couple years ago in the Journal (and which I read at Inline image 1 the time) and follow those steps. However, I believe I will need to add supports, fill in those gaps between the posts. Any glaring issues or recommendations from you experienced rebuilders before I start?
