Hi Jim, 'Twas I who made that reference. Yes, "pressing either pneumatically or mechanically" better describes what I was trying to get at. If you can push in a bridge pin with your hand, it would not only be loose(r), but too loose, IMO. Thanks for the clarification, Alan Eder -----Original Message----- From: jim ialeggio <jimialeggio at gmail.com> To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 5:25 am Subject: [pianotech] "pushing" bridge pins? Revently a reference was made to inserting bridge pins by pushing rather than banging them in. "pushing", meaning pressing either pneumatically or mechanically? Not simply pushing by hand I assume, as that requires a loose(r) fit?
