I just finished restringing a couple of older pianos (Schiedmayer, =
Schomacker).  Both pianos were originally strung with #1 tuning pins.  =
This was nice since both blocks were good it allowed me to restring with =
#2's.  I'm curious when/why companies got in the habit of doing the =
initial stringing with #2's.  The improved tuning quality of a smaller =
pin would suggest using a #1, as I believe many Japanese makers do.  I =
know some rebuilders (Dale Erwin) are also stringing new blocks with =
#1's.  Is there any compelling reason not to use a #1 pin when =
installing a new block? =20
