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!
