[CAUT] Tuning pins

[Jeff Tanner]

I know that Samick uses them in their premium piano lines (Pramberger 
Platinum Series, Knabe, Kohler & Campbell Millennium Series).  If there 
weren't some sort of difference, I can't imagine bothering to do so, unless 
it simply adds to the impression they are investing in the highest quality 
materials for those particular lines (which, by the way, will be being built 
in Tennessee by the end of this year).  I can't particularly tell the 
difference except that they don't appear as brightly polished (shiny) as 
what I assume are Asian pins in the entry grade pianos.
