Just Thinking,
Perhaps the pin was bent during  cooling after the heat treatment.  Sort =
of like cooking a weiner. <G>

    Hi List,=20
    I just removed the pins in a piano, in preparation for a =
restringing.=20
    The majority of the old pins were bent, some were quite bad.=20
    Is this because, a tuner was bending the pins, to fine tune? I seem =
to=20
    remember someone saying they bent the pin a bit.=20
    Regards,=20

  It would seem to me that the tip of the hammer would break before it =
could bend a tuning pin. Is there any evidence that the pins had been =
driven? Maybe in the process of driving them deeper in the block, the =
tuner hit them at an angle. Just a thought.=20
