Hi Tom
Why not simply reuse the old tapered pins. Taking the old strings off =
and putting new ones on certainly will not make tapered pins loose - =
that's the "beauty" of them. Trouble is they may not look that good with =
new strings - so why not burnish them, once the old strings are off, =
using the trusty coil burnisher. Even if they get a bit too much on the =
loose side you could bush the holes using fine-grit strips of sand-paper =
(inside out) in the pin block. This is what tapered wrest pins are all =
about. Some pins are even bifurcated with a metal wedge insert.....
Just an economic suggestion....
