Pinning on new flanges

[Bob Hull]

List,

I was preparing a new set of shanks and flanges for an
action rebuild (a recital hall piano)and found that
the pinning maybe too loose.  Many of them will swing
8-10 times before coming to a stop; some will swing 11
- 12 and a few 7 times.  These are high quality parts
from a reputable manufacturer.  The humidity in my
shop is in the mid 50's.  When winter comes and the
humidity in the recital hall drops way down won't
these be to loose?  I was looking for about 3-5 swings
in the bass graduating up to about 7 max. in the
treble.

I am facing a deadline and may need to get another set
sent if the manufacturer agrees which will cost me at
least 2 days.

Would you repin, reorder or what?

Bob Hull
