Hi Dave,
Before you replace with longer pins you need to check and see if the =
other string of the bichord will not be in the way of the tuning lever =
tip. You may end up replacing both tuning pins of the unison.

  Thanks to all who replied.
  I just may try the longer pins in that area since I'm going  to =
replace the strings anyway.
  Doesnt seem like that much more work if it diminishes the problem.
  I'ts always nice to know if someone else has seen a problem when a =
person is rather new at the piano business.


  Thanks much
  Dave McKibben

    Your assessment of "why" the strings broke, is right on IMO. My fix =
would be to pull the tuning pins in that area and install longer ones; =
put new strings on and leave the pin higher so that the angle would not =
be as steep. This, of course, would give the pin more "flag poling" =
feel, but, at least, the darned strings wouldn't be in a bind at the =
coils. There are many other "height impaired" pianos that have the same =
problem....Wurlitzers come to mind.
