[CAUT] restrung D

[Ron Overs]

Hi all,

Provided that the side bearing load on the pin is not excessive (not 
over 10 degrees), there will be little risk to the wire. The pins we 
used for no. 6 piano were EN nickel plated and heat treated in-house 
to harden the nickel. I do suspect that harder pins help the tone.

Here's an image which shows the nickel plated pins and 
multi-laminated cap of piano no. 6.
