Glen: I believe it is standard practice to go up two sizes when repinning a piano, but not to go beyond 4/0 pins. Beyond that the pinblock needs to be replaced, or possible restrung with epoxy swabbed in the holes (there was a recent discussion of this technique on the list, and should be available in the archives. Hope this is of some help, Pat Poulson, RPT
