There are pinblocks so far gone that the neighboring tuning pins will be affected. At the same time there are pinblocks that are virtually unaffected by such an act. Then it's simply a repair for the one in question. No hard and fast rules other than it's something that has to be determined for each occurrence. Keith McGavern
