[pianotech] Oversized tuning pins

[David Love]

I always use the blued pins, especially on vintage pianos.  They also look
better, in my view.

David, And AL

   Thanks for sharing your own protocols. I'm sure others will benifit from
it as well. I have not had the occassion to use the 1/2 sizes yet but it is
a great idea when restringing over an exsisting block. And I agree that
diamond pins are worth the money.

   I will say I like the blued ones merely as it appears the threads are cut
after the bluing process. The nickel ones appear that they are cut and then
plated which I don't like. I have been assured that isn't the case by P-tek
but it sure looks like it.

Dale,
