A choice of pin length, pinblock composition, drilling fit, 
and driving depth would still let you put the takeoff point of 
the coil at any height you like above the plate regardless of 
the number of turns on the coil. And the string draft angle 
does relate to pin angle, or should. The angle relationship of 
the pin to the string, determined in part by the angle of the 
pin in the block, *is* the part of this that affects the 
process of getting tight coils.

Why would having to drive the pin deeper be a problem? I 
covered that with "choice of pin length", "pinblock 
composition", and "drilling fit".
