Large diameter tuning pin bushings

[Richard Anderson]

Thanks for the reply John. I can't understand why this market isn't being

I actually did make a set on my lathe once. It was not fun. I was hoping to
get lucky this time. Between you and me and the wall, I will most likely
omit them on this piano.
