In late on this... but just so.. I have no idea about chromed pins... but I've never quite understood the hulabaloo about blued vs nickle. At least not when it comes to their functionality. Nordiska pianos used a blued pins I could swear must have been made with some metal combination that made them more flexible. Felt weird. But otherwise it always seemed to me that differences in pianos tuning <feel> had more to do with the pinblock and how much torque there was then anything else. I always use nickle because they dont seem to rust as easily. As for whether or not chromed pins are <<better>>... grin... just how are they supposed to be better ? Cheers RicB >/ Advertisers are touting chromed pins as better than nickel plated pins. />/ Anyone out there actually used these? Are there worthwhile differences?/
