Ron, I'm still waffling.  I might just go ahead with the vertical roll pins
after all.  How do you get the old hitch pins out that you want to move?  I
tried to pull one and ended up breaking it off.   Would cutting them off,
grinding, filling and painting work okay?  I'll just drill out the ones that
will be replaced with roll pins.

Also I'd like to know if there is any tail length that would be too long and
cause any problems.  Is there a technical limit?  Of course there is a
practical limit.  Could a long tail take on a life of it's own and cause a
problem?  And then need to be muted off?

For those that are curious as to why I'm back on this kick, here are some
comments I got.

"Why bother, the customer won't know the difference and neither will you!"

"You're not getting paid to redesign the piano!"

"Don't worry about the duplex, just mute it off!"

I guess I shouldn't tell registered people (PTG or AKC, I can't tell)  what
I learn on the internet.

Anyway, that's what is pushing me to do it.  The idea that I may not be
doing this for the customer but for ME eludes them.

Thanks to all!!
