Hello list,

Yesterday I had my first experience with a broken tuning pin. In a few days 
I will have my first experience removing a broken tuning pin.
I've seen two types of tools in the catologues. One, a simple tap and die, 
and another that threads onto the outer diameter of the stump of the broken 
pin. This is an upright, pin closest to the pressure bar and very tight.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on tool selection, techniques, etc. 
from anyone out there who has had the pleasure of experiencing this 
situation.

Thanks in advance,
