tuning pin query ++

[pianoman]

You know even further than the reply about flag poling the longer tuning
pins the same problems are with us for the larger diameter pins.  The
degree of tension change per pin movement is greater with the larger size
tuning pins.  I wonder which has the most effect, more flag poling to
instability or lack of accurate placing due to pin diameter.
