I not sure you are understanding exactly what = Jurgen is doing (or maybe I'm not understanding you!). The rods ARE the = center pins. The one end is filed rough and serves as the broach, the = next section of rod/pin is used to burnish the bushing, then the flange = is assembled with the shank (or whatever) on the long rod and the rod is = then cut flush with the outside of the flange. He does not use the = little ready-made 3/4" long center pins that the supply houses sell. The long length of the rod make for a very efficient burnishing tool. Terry Farrell www.farrellpiano.com Hi Jurgen, that is similar to what we do here except the broaches are = much shorter making it easier to fit in the tuners kit. Are your rods = made of brass or steel?
