Hi Bob I'd be interested to know how this turned out. Especially if there is no transition bridge involved. I've done this with trichords with some success. IE better than nothing not as good as trans bridge. IMO Dale When additional, or differently located hitch pins need to be installed, how much difference in diameter do you drill the hole compared to the size of the pin? This is for a regular pin and not a roll pin. The present pins are .168 in dia. I don't know if I have that size - I just have some of PianoTeks 2 sizes. Do you drive the new pin in as a force fit? Is epoxy suggested? This is for a Steinway B on which I'm adding pins for new wound bichords replacing the 3 low tenor plain unisons. Also, what would you think about german loops in this situation? Would the bridge benefit from that or would the decrease in downbearing be undesirable? I did some archive research but this may clarify a couple of things for me. Thanks for your input.
