               Hi Phil

        The answer to what size drill bits for bridge pins is one size =
smaller than whatever piano tech provides. I like there bits when the =
maple is hard and  tight grain but not when the maple is wide and a bit =
softer. W.W. Fuller is a company that sells any type of specialty bit =
you wish and they have outlets in the Bay area although I've always =
dealt directly with the factory. By the way I am trying to avoid using =
6s as they want to bend over more easily and sevens will give a stiffer =
termination. One important thing about drilling is that every time the =
bit goes in it should not have in build up in the flutes as this will =
enlarge the size of the hole your trying to so carefully drill =
uniformly. I keep a piece of scrap spruc! e handy to run the bit trough =
in between holes.  This particular wood is amazing at cleaning out the =
flutes quickly. Also Spraying Mclube on the pins before pounding them in =
also helps prevent bending them over in a tight hole.
        Regards   Dale
