Tapered Tuning Pins

[Stéphane Collin]

Hello techs !

I have a question.
When it goes about redrilling pin holes, do you use a complete setup with bore stand inclinated 7° on a horizontal surface placed on the piano etc. or do you simply bore with a hand machine letting it follow its way in the hole itself ?

| Why not use the tapered pins that are already there? Wind the
| string/coil, a
| slight tap and you're there! That's the beauty of tapered pins. The only
| caveat would be if some yahoo, already "tapped" them too much. In that
| case,
| it is a good idea to ream/drill the holes with appropriate drill to make
| the
| hole the same dimension throughout it's length. If you don't have my
| chart
| for this, please reply off line and I'll post one to you.
