Qm7TM Pinblock

Qm7 Pinblocks
In 2009, Central Michigan
Pianos began manufacturing our own Michigan hard maple pinblocks
to further compliment our high quality restorations.
Qm7TM was our first design, featuring seven layers of vertical grained hard maple, representing everything technicians love in a high quality American pinblock such as those used in Mason & Hamlin, Chickering, etc.
Discriminating technicians also requested a five layer pinblock of comparable quality as an economical alternative to the Qm7TM. Because this particular style of block was used in vintage Steinways, it is the popular choice for many technicians and rebuilders alike.
Both Qm7TM and Qm5 Pinblocks are constructed utilizing either five or seven layers of true quartersawn Michigan hard
maple. Our attention to humidity
levels before milling, as well as the advanced resins used for pressing, combine
to make our pinblocks very resistant to temperature and humidity changes. Many
field reports from trusted technicians and rebuilders have suggested that our blocks are
extremely resilient, as well as easy to tune.
