A quick pass with spray Mclube knocks off the gloss in the notches and lubricates the top, Dag or not. Or Dag top and a satin varnish sanding sealer brushed on the notches.

Same idea as no 3 and 1/2 tuning pins now sold by piano tech. Interesting thought. The plating could be a harder material too. I wonder how it would wear, and how it would react to filing the tops (if you do that). Where are those oversize Titanium bridge pins when you need some? Ron N
