Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooops!

That was supposed to go to Pianotek, not Pianotech.  Oh, well, it's out
of the bag now.  For the curious, I'm planning to market a new type of
tuning pin which has a narrow gauge from the top to 4mm below the becket
and a wider gauge for the remainder, patent pending.  The idea is to put
the strength and rigidity where it's needed and reduce torque, increase
leverage and decrease the need for pin block friction.  All will be
revealed.
