David, Yes, I understand. I just thought you meant the way the thread runs as I wrote. Some years ago I bought pins from US where the thread was cut after making them blue or nickel plated and they felt sharper than other pins. Logically it should be the best way to make tuning pins.

David Skolnik <davidskolnik at optonline.net> skrev: Aras - While there are some interesting possibilities in the configuration you describe, like the string to plate distance remaining constant (theoretically) as pin is turned, it sounds like this "reverse torque" is different from what is described In Don Mannino's explanation, which I quoted in my last post. David Skolnik At 05:44 AM 4/6/2007, you wrote: The thread is cut the other way around, so when you raise the tone the pin goes out and when you push the pin a little back to hit the pitch the pin goes in. The idea is that the pin should set better. It is a strange feeling when tuning. Erwinspiano at aol.com skrev: Hi David What you mean reverse torque pin ? Reverse crown boards I know.
