<< Hi List,
 I was wondering, is there a table of torque measurements,
 in inch pounds, for the tuning pins.

 i.e.   too loose?          below 20 inch pounds
         loose?         between 20 - 40 inch pound
          nice to tune?     40 - 80 inch pounds
          too tight?        anything over 80. 

 I remember I saw one once, but I can't remember where.
 Thanking you in advance.
 Regards,
 John M. Ross >>
