Nothing really so mythtical about this really, we have obviously two myths. I will name them...er.. lets see... ah.. "The myth of the moving pinblock" and "The myth of the crushed pin bushing" Neither of these claims has any real supportive evidence, and both seem to have holes in the supportive reasoning, especially I might say the second of these two. The claim is that the first myth cannot possibly be true because if the pinblock moved due to the fulcrum effect placed on the pins by the bushings.. then the bushings would surely crush. While its easy to picture this happening it simply doesnt take into account that the amount of pinblock movement necessary for a significant impact on tuning stability is no where near the amount necessary for the bushings to crush. It amazes me how (depending on what one argues about) some movement tolerances concerning pin movement in relationship to tuning stability can be so unbelievably small, and then in the next moment those same tolerances can be the size of a football field in comparison.
