<< There was absolutely nothing left to grip in the hammer tip, and various efforts with various sized tuning tips did nothing to move the pin. I'm wondering how I get this pin out. >> Greetings, We just had a considerable thread on removal of a broken pin. You may try the Pianotek removal tool, or you may attempt to get some vise grips on it. Failing that, you may need to remove about 3/16" from the top of the pin and tap a #1 tip onto it firmly enough to back it out. Thorny problem, make no promises to the customer going into this repair. Good luck, Ed Foote RPT
