bore brushes

[Ross White]

I’ve re-pinned using rosin (violin bows) to prevent the pins from “jumping.”
Works well.

Last week I bought a 7mm brass bore brush to clean out the tuning pin holes
of a Steinway grand that had 3 (0) pins that are needing replacing because
of not being tight enough.  No, it will not be getting a new pin block.  Has
anyone used the 7mm ( around 0.285) bore brush before and does it do a good
job of cleaning the original holes to help avoid pin jumping with the new
pins?

Thanks,

James
