In the thread on bending rims, which has taken some interesting turns along the way, Del mentioned Baldwin's vertical hitch pin setup as an alternative to having to drill / pin / notch bridges in the piano after installation of the soundboard assembly. I saw a grand piano just the other day that I believe was a new Story & Clark. I don't know if saw what I thought I saw, but it looked like vertical hitch pins with a big groove near the top of the pin for the string to sit in. I wondered about that, thinking that with a groove, it's not longer adjustable up and down the pin like the Baldwins. Did I see that right? Just curious.
