Well.....I have now learned a lot about the many ways to mess up a tight pin. I'll add one more, just for the fun of it, which wouldn't explain Carol's problem, but it seems we are onto the topic in general now. We once found one of the dowels which Steinway uses to secure the pinblock to the shelf was put in the wrong place. It intersected with one of the low bass tuning pins, so that half of the dowel became a pinblock. That pin didn't hold very well. There you go... there's another way.
