I did not say it is bad, but I have tried something else in the past=20
and it was a bummer.
The issue about Chutzpah I leave open till we meet one day over a nice=20=

beer.

Sure it works, I am just more old fashioned when it comes to this and=20
my personal common sense, plus long time experience, tells me that an=20
oversize pin, let us say from mm 16.9 to mm 17,2 (which is almost=20

And it sure sounds like a restringing job to me, with an oversize pin,=20=

like we do all the time here on all the instruments we repair.
