Gawd.... what beaaaautiful workmanship !! I think my next big trip is going to have to be a couple months training in Australia :) Query tho.... Why do you think harder pins will help the tone ? Cheers RicB 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. http://members.optusnet.com.au/ronovers/oversno6.13.jpg Ron O. --
