[pianotech] Bridge Pin Drilling Angle

[PAULREVENKOJONES at aol.com]

I think that addresses another issue which is the simultaneity of  
termination, not the force vector of the string around the pin into the stagger  angle.

What's  the difference between leaning the pin out a bit and just cutting the
notch  just back of pin center?

I've always heard the explanation Frank offers  for that 
outward lean, and it always seemed reasonable. But when you  
really look at it, the offset angle would be bisected by the 
pins  leaning back over the bridge instead of out and away from 
it. Wouldn't  it?
