It had 2/0 pins and I'm gonna use LoTorq 3/0 pins. The block felt fine. I'm restringing because of other issues with this piano - wildly mismatched bass strings, false beats and such. I'd like to find out how other folks treat the block before re-pinning. Anyone ream? With what type of bit? I have tried reaming with a double-fluted reamer in the past but didn't like the results. Too inconsistent. I've also just done nothing to the block, with good results. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Alan Alan You can try 3/0, but if you're going to ream, to be on the safe side all the way around, you should go with 4/0 pins.
