[pianotech] repin CA'd pinblock

[Ed Sutton]

Somebody clever out there should be able to design and make a two-step 
reamer.
The first inch or so would be slightly undersized and non-cutting, to allow 
for aligning the reamer, then the second step of the reamer would do the 
cutting.

Bruce,

I do it by hand with what I call soft hands. I let the reamer or drill bit
find it's way down the hole. After a few holes you will get the feel of it.
Start in the treble where it is less critical.
