Terry,

I still have some test-market sets of 3.5/0 pins with 1/0 or 2/0 tops,
nickel plated only and 2 3/8 inch length (60mm.).  If you are
interested, contact me privately.  After they are gone, I won't be
ordering any more, because Pianotek is taking over.  They have an order
for a variety of sizes (including half sizes) and blued that will
probably be available in March.  They will be the distributor.
