Yamaha C3 Rebuild with the master.
Duplicating the Pinblock
The original was not that great of a fit against the Plate Flange
So I sanded it down to make a more stable fit
Testing it out before drilling any holes
Testing it in the piano
Since It fit, time to drill the holes for the tuning pins
Drill all oles with the same technique, at the same rate
Holes Drilled!
There was too much down bearing force, so the bridge cap was reduced and re-notched
There will be greater projection in the bass range now.
The plate comes in, and out several times.
Everything gets polished
And the soundboard gets refinished.
I love wood finish work!
Pinblock, bridges and soundboard are ready for Strings
