I suppose there is the difficulty of measuring bearing since the coil takes up space between the bridge and h pin. Not to change the subject too much but I still have fantasy about a "two stringer" piano, esp grand. Considering vertical hitch pins this gives a new twist to this design, or actually eliminates a twist since the note will consist of two strings around a common h pin. Of course I really don't think much will be done in the engineering of pianos under 6 feet since the digitals are becoming satisfactory in that sound range. ---rm
