Thanks Ed, Yes the former, which is why I am so surprised at the result.

  What kind of reamer did you use?
  I suggest using a fluted straight reamer, which definitely cuts wood, not a spoon reamer, which can burnish the hole.

    Have just finished a re-pin on a Kawai KG-1 grand. All went to plan with the exception of about five random pins that are cracking. This is most annoying as I was meticulous with my reaming process and the feel on the majority of pins is even and firm.
    I make a habit of chalking each pin prior to hammering them in, so I am really at a loss as to why these few pins are giving trouble.
    This piano was water damaged in the area of the bass plank, however the faulty pins are from the centre section up to the treble.
    No alternative but to remove them I guess and try again. 
    Do you know what I hate!!!!!!!
