With teflon I use six swings (Bill Garlick) and seven swings (my tolerance). I
do not use S&S's pins because I found that the duration of the pinning is about
the same. On heavy use pianos I found I had to repin every second year anyway
and my regular pins seemed to have a slightly longer life.
If I find my S&S flange weight maybe I can find all my lost marbles!
