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.

<< 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.
