Someone did (does). As far as I know, Vose had tapered pins up 
to the time the depression in 1930 did them in. Don't know 
about Bosendorfer. Tapered holes with parallel sided pins as 
about the worst fit you could come up with for tuning pins in 
a pinblock - unless they're drilled from underneath.
