pin height, driving fluid, beckets

[Richard Moody]

How much the strings bear down on the string felt is how far the pins
will be driven.  IMHO 
	Why Steinway had four turns in the upper treble hopefully will be
answered.

ps Can the stringing job be such that the pins stand at the same
degree so that the tuning hammer will be at the same angle?  That
WOULD be first class.
