[@stevemartin7721]

I love watching the videos you make. Look forward to seeing how you drill the block.

That pin block must be harder than that lump hammer? How the block is not dented/marked is surprising?

[@jamieshi4130]

Awesome, can you use release agent on the harp, then use epoxy fill between wood and harp, then it will be perfect fit?

[@PIANOSXXI]

Hi Jamie, you can do it in certain situations 1. If your epoxy is stronger than the wood. 2. If you are confident that nobody will be doing restoration after you 😜

I am restoring a 1921 Christman Studio Grand piano. I noticed early on that the cover wouldn't close properly but I didn't know why. Now that I've restored the soundboard, I see that the case is warped on the side where the case hinges are mounted. My question is, how do I straighten out the case when it's made from multiple layers of hard maple? Thank you.

The proper way to do is to weaken the wood first and then reconstruct it and glue it on the proper positions and reinforce it. This is a difficult task. I would only recommend a professional to do this.

Can i use marine grade teak instead of maple? It has more oil so not sure if pins will stay as tight? It won’t warm and bend like maple

[@PIANOSXXI]

As far as I know the common wood that is used is maple or beechwood but it might work if you do a proper lamination on the pinblock. It has to be tested of course to be 100% sure :) From my experience, working on antique pianos - I did see different woods used on pinlocks.
