Young Chang Pramberger PG-185 Soft Tuning Pins

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Brian,
             Let's be carefull, with advising a #2 pin, YC is metric, a #2
pin is about .010" over size to their standard pins.
 When I restring asian pianos, I use #2"s, they are about the same size as
Yamaha's oversize pins and 1/2 the price. Maybe it's because Yamaha packs
their pins in little bags of 5 pins?
 Fitting a #2 into a tight hole with out reaming may be part of the
problem, and not a solution.
Bin thar, done that, bought the T shirt.
Regards Roger.
