Hello John
Thanks for your input! ;-) In fact the old pins aren't as described in =
this particular case. The thought of using new chrome instead of blued =
pins just for the look of them and in the hope that same-size new pins =
might possibly, with the use of CA, be an option.... In reaming the hole =
a larger size pin is indeed the only option.... but if it doesn't need =
reaming ... what then? This is for open discussion so I'm posting to the =
List

  Sounds like the holes need reamed to new wood. Then the low torque =
pins as suggested, size determined by the amount of wood removed.

    Hello John and List
    The old pins are grotty, rusted and deformed and would not be worth =
preserving and re-bluing. Apart from which the old pins will have their =
scoring (the end part of the pin which is in the plank) filled with old =
wood particles and rust. The new pins will be chromed and indeed .. new. =
The object is to find out what your collective reaction is to CA-ing in =
new pins.
    Regards

      Hi Michael,
      It doesn't make sense to buy the same size, new.=20
       If you want to try the C/A, save your customer the cost of the =
new pins, you can always 'reblue' the old ones.

        Hello List
        Thought I'd start a thread about re-stringing. We usually use =
the "next-size-up" tuning pins when re-stringing but basic science tells =
me that the smaller the pin the less unwinding leverage on it from the =
string. So. How about a new set of tuning pins the same size as the old =
and using CA to "glue" them in....Ha! Ha!
