Ok, got it. It's Friday, and I'm easily confused at the end of the 
week. I'll try to come up with another excuse for Monday. I've 
wondered about this myself. For now, I think the pin angle is a 
significant factor in it's getting loose with repeated humidity 
swings, so I'd expect the vertical pin to at least not get as loose 
as fast as an angled pin. Whether it will ever get loose enough to 
be a tonal problem, I don't know. I don't service anything with 
vertical pins, so I don't have any experience with their cumulative 
pathology.
