The "cover pinblock" in an upright piano is a wooden cover that sits on top of the pinblock, which is a central component of the piano's action. The pinblock is a dense, laminated wooden structure that is used to hold the tuning pins in place. The cover pinblock is typically made of wood and is used to protect the pinblock from dust and other debris. It also helps to keep the strings and other internal components of the piano in place.
In an upright piano, the cover pinblock is typically located near the top of the piano cabinet. It is usually held in place with screws or other fasteners and can be removed for maintenance or repair purposes. The cover pinblock is an important part of the piano's action, as it helps to maintain the proper tension on the strings and ensure that the piano remains in tune.
