List,

I've come across a piano that has some moisture damage, namely, rusty
tuning pins and coils.  I would like to restring the piano; however, the
pins feel solid in the pinblock, so I hate to remove the pins and
replace them with new ones.  They are size 2/0.  What would you do?  Has
anyone tried the tuning pin cleaner kit that Schaff sells (drill
attachment gizmo)?  Would you clean them or just pull them out and
replace with 3/0 pins?
