Young Chang Pramberger PG-185 Soft Tuning Pins

[Brian Trout]

Hi Rick,

Wow!  I've never heard of such a thing.

Do you know, was it oversize?  and was the original pin too tight?  Also,
I'm curious, did it break where the hole is for the string?

I've only seen a few dozen of the YCs, but I can't ever recall having one
with overly tight tuning pins.

YC tuning pin problems?  What'll go wrong next?!...

Have a good day,
