Ed has a good point. Yamaha pins with a 6.9mm tuning pin. I'd skip reaming the tuning pin hole and put in a 7.1mm pin. -----Original Message----- From: A440A@aol.com Sent: Feb 13, 2004 2:56 PM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Re: Yam C7 Loose tuningpins << While the client asked to the seller to fix this problem with the guarantee, I was just curious to know how such a problem can be solved? (remove the offending pins, clean the hole with a pinhole brush and repining with two sizes larger pins?) Would these pins stay jumpy after repinning? >> Greetings, Be very careful about up-sizing these pins. Measure them first and perhaps go to the next size over. I have seen problems when using oversize pins in Yamaha's, and it generally because too large a pin was installed and you have a creaky pin to live with.
