Allen, It works well using the same size pins. It doesn't eliminate the need of easing, but you are much closer to where you want to be.

Does anyone ever size the balance holes by inserting key pins in them right after they're steamed (and leaving until dry)? Similar to Spurlock's sizing cauls for the mortise, in other words. I've always meant to try that...but perhaps something a thousandth or two bigger than the pins in the piano might be necessary? Anyone have experience with this? Seems like it might prevent much of the need for easing, if it were done right. This may have been discussed on the list before, but if so I missed it.
