Marcel, >I was wondering about that fact myself until I checked the diameter of certain pins on Asian pianos. < Thanks for the response. I'll do a little checking on that. These were no= t strictly Asian, though. I am noticing this also in the European Schirmers= , as well as Korean made instruments, and American Story&Clark. Still, they= could be all be small pins, but I don't think so, because usually when I get a #1 pin, I have to put on that size tip for a good feel, and I have been using #2 and #3 tip on these pianos with no looseness problem.
