No. OK, so that's the really short answer. However, if the piano was designed for them, i.e., if the tuning pin holes drilled in the plate are of the appropriate size -- then why not put them in. In the long term they won't really do any good, but they won't do any harm either. And they might actually help keep some of that pinblock dope out of the pinblock when someone tries to pour it in there. -- ddf ------------------------ Jerry Hunt wrote: > Yet another question regarding re-stringing (and replacing the tuning > pins).
