The first step in putting the Steinway back together is to install the pinblock in it's correct position. Everything else is set up after the pinblock and plate is in the correct position. This includes front to back location, side to side location and height at the bass end, height at the treble end, and height at the rear of the plate. Using the old pinblock as a pattern puts me close to the right position. The old pinblock was indexed to the plate, and the new pinblock is patterned from the same indexing marks. The plate is also indexed to the rim of the piano. Using these locator's and using recorded heights, enables me to return the plate to it's original position. There are times that for various reason, I change the plate location, but that's for another discussion.
