Interesting. I would like to know more. A picture is worth a thousand = words! ;-) Terry Farrell ----- Original Message -----=20 From: John Ross=20 To: pianotech=20 Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 3:24 PM Subject: To Ream or Not to Ream? I normally used to ream, before repining. However on this latest piano, the pins were tight on removal. Sorry, I = forgot to take a torque measurement. I normally just go up one size, unless they are really loose. I am tempted to just go up the one size, and not ream. I do use pin = driving fluid. I would like to be reminded of the pros, and cons of each procedure. It is a good quality upright, a Heintzman, with what they call an = Agraffe Bridge, patented in 1895. It is the one with the three holes = drilled through the plate, aligning the strings. It had no 1/2 sizes of strings. I am adding a few that seem to improve = the inharmonicity, according to PSCALE.
