[pianotech] tips, tuning pin ends

[Don]

Hi Kent,

I believe that best tuning tips are made on a computer controlled cutting
device, so a number 2 tip from a particular maker should be very nearly
identical from tip to tip. However, tips do wear over time. I have two
Wantebee #2 tips--on different levers. The one I use "all the time" and a
backup. The backup now fits differently.
