I discovered on this piano I'm restringing (Schiedmayer c 1910) that the =
bridge pins are made from nails.  It brings up a question I've had.  =
Since false beat problems often arise from eventual cuts made in the =
side of the bridge pin, why are they made of such soft material as =
copper (though a guess they are actually "coppered", or some kind of =
alloy).   What other material are used, if any, and what is the =
cost/benefit of those materials?
