Size of pins for Steinway B

[Richard Brekne]

Hi JD

If the existing pins are 7.20 mm then they have been changed once 
already. And if only once then the jump up from the factory installed 
6.9 was a fairly large one.  I'd be a bit cautious about a 1958 B that 
has had such a change once already and now needs bigger pins.

Get your fellow in South America to check the torque on the pins.  If 
they are good I'd suggest to use the existing pins instead of changing 
again.  If they are loose already... I'd have to be a bit suspicious 
about the block, piano unseen as it were.
