Very weird. Use #7 bridge pins for the cauls, and the alcohol shrink if necessary, and it'll be just right. Ron N _______________________________________________ Thanks Ron, I guess the list was down today and I resent my message thinking the glitch was on my end. I used a 6p bright finish nail for the cauls---.015 larger than the damper wire in this piano (Henry F. Miller) and did indeed alcohol shrink as they were too tight. Thanks for the bridge pin tip and for not answering three more times Tom Driscoll
