>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
