The slight deviations from being true to the line of strings has negligible effect on pin angle. >> Greetings, I have found that fanning the deviation will sometimes allow stringing in tight spaces to be less jammed together or against the adjacent pins. It isn't very visible to the eye that the pin is leaning a little off from exactly against the string, but it can allow a way around clearance problems. The trick is to make note of where corrections are needed before destringing, and then remembering which notes need which pin to lean right or left.
