Hi all,

I've come across a piano that has a broken tuning pin(it was like that when I 
got there...really...).  There is nothing square left on the pin fragment 
still in the plate.  It is in the very corner, where strut meets strut next to 
the stretcher.  Hacksawing a slot may be difficult.  I'm looking for advice as 
to the best way to get this out.  

This isn't an urgent situation, since the tech that was involved in the 
breakage has said he'd get it out, and get a new pin and string in, but I have my 
doubts that that will occur, so I'd like to be ready with a solution or two 
should I be called on to deal with this.

Thanks in advance,

Dave Stahl
