The = balance rail pins are usually round, so yes, just mic them. The front = rail pins are usually oval so place the micrometer on the pin and rotate = it until you get the smallest measurement (you can usually eyeball the = proper position pretty easily). Some pianos will have oval balance rail = pins, and do them likewise. Do you have a good micrometer? You'll need one. I am one of those tool-heads that advocates buying high-quality tools. = If you buy cheap you usually regret it. However, I have been using a $10 = micrometer for many years now and for whatever reason is it dead = accurate and has always worked like a charm. I bought it because I was = just starting out, didn't feel like spending oodles of bucks on = something I didn't know much about. I got lucky. = http://www.wttool.com/p/1251-0005 Terry Farrell Hi everyone, just a quick question. How does one accurately mic front and balance rail pins?
