Same question with a different twist. I service a Yamaha C3 that was =
recently restrung (not by me). The stringer used tuning pins in the bass =
that were obviously bigger than optimal. The bass tuning pins are easily =
in excess of 300 inch-pounds torque - I will not be surprised when I =
twist a pin in half. And when they do turn, they jump, and the pitch =
will change anywhere from 20 to 40 cents. Getting the pitch anywhere =
near target is a crap-shoot. Any ideas beyond removing pin, reaming, and =
reinstalling?
