You're advocating Driving the pins on this piano, = before knowing what kind of piano it is!!!!!! There are some pianos, = that have a plate configuration that requires the tuning pin to be quite = high, by most standards we see! If you drive the pins, (too deep), on = this kind of a piano, you will cause excess string angle which could = cause string breakage! You all should be aware of the fact that the TOP of the Pinblock is = the area that needs to be tight in order to give sufficient pin = torque/feel. NOT the bottom of the hole! Driving pins is like the olde = Pin Dope....it works for a short time only, in my experience! Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
