Hi,

Thanks for the reply concerning the fluted reamers.=20
Concerning these reamers do some of you have some experience to share? I =
was wondering what kind of drill should be used and what would be a good =
feed-rate.

Thanks,

Pierre

  I got my fluted reamers from Pianotek. They have six sizes from .266" =
to.295", they are 6" long and the flute is 1 1/2".
  I do find them better, but you have to take it slow.

    Hi,

    And what about those fluted reamers mentionned in the Reblitz? I've =
tried to find these for a long time now but without succes. As I never =
heared anyone else speaking about these I suppose it's not that good to =
use?

      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.
