Thanks, Fred. This harpsichord has press in pins with no becket hole. Initially, it was 3 notes flat, the pins were loose, and the coils were too low to press the pins in further to tighten them. I loosened the pins, carefully raised the coils so I could press the pins in further but I'm getting breakage at A-440. I suppose disturbing the coils might be the culprit, although I was very careful. I've had several new strings break at A-440, but I might have had the string tail under the coils. I'll need to check that. I'll also check the measurements. The strings I've replaced are the correct size per Zuckerman's scale.
