[pianotech] those pesky tuning pin bushings

[Gene Nelson]

I have plenty to experiment with, thanks.
Too many in to make any drastic changes now but I suppose that even if they 
all split it will not be the end of the world. Maybe pre-split them and 
arrange the split out of direct visual.
If I could find some plastic rod the correct diameter I would try to make my 
own. Probably would need a laythe or milling machine to dirll them correct.
