Pinning on new flanges

[Keith McGavern]

List,

There certainly is a lot of name dropping as to authenticate what is 
so and what isn't concerning correct hammer flange pinning, and there 
are various concepts presented as to how tight or loose these hammer 
flanges should or not be.

If I were seeking correct information from authoritative sources what 
is correct about this subject, it would appear on the surface this is 
not the place to get it.

Now no disrespect intended, but I find it somewhat amusing that so 
many persons assert to have the answer, yet there is not relative 
sameness in those answers.

So I muse, why don't I add to this professionalism.

There is no one way to do it. There is such a thing as too loose, and 
there is such a thing as too tight. What happens in between will 
always be a judgement call.

Each piano dictates what it needs to optimize its abilities. and it 
takes a person who is capable of recognizing and accomplishing such a 
thing when needed.

Sincerely,

Keith
