You would have to remove material from the plate hole...I'm sure=
 someone has done it...there goes the warranty...;-]

Rumor has it that the Steinway piano was originally designed that=
 the pin would ride against the plate.  Why not just install=
 tuning pin bushings when restringing a Steinway?  Except on some=
 older models where the tuning pin areas are countersunk, what=92s=
 the reason not to?

    I always ream out the holes in the plate prior to refinishing=
 the plate to clean out the old paint & accumulated goop,rust, or=
 excess paint from several spray can jobs. Also I see no reason=
 why the holes on & Steinway can't be a bit larger & also a=
 larger hole thereby removes some of the risk of having pins lean=
 against the plate flange. It bugs me and makes tuning a bit=
 squirrley.     Dale Erwin 
 
It sure does make the tuning squirrelly.  There's something else=
 I'd call it, but.......like........I'm a lady.  ;-)    I'm=
 wrestling with a piano that has exactly that problem.  The other=
 causes of stiction I've dealt with successfully mostly by lubing=
 some way or another.  But, since were talking right there at the=
 pinblock, I haven't dared.  Any thoughts?  Yes, yes, I've=
 already suggested that it goes in for a new block.
