[pianotech] Tight tuning pins

[Paul T Williams]

Hi Randy,

Long time, no see!

I think this is worth a try on that 80's Baldwin. You might even try to 
use one of those pin-hole reamer-brushes as well. It might also help to 
ease the hole a bit.

Good luck!
Paul

[pianotech] Tight tuning pins



Regarding the recent discussion about dealing with tight tuning pins when 
a piano has been restrung with oversize pins, can anyone speak to the 
efficacy of backing out the pins with a drill and then pounding them back 
in on an original condition Baldwin grand from the 80's with that stupid 
Resorcinol-laden pinblock?  (Same problem, pins very tight and jumpy, lots 
of cracking noises.)  I'm thinking this technique is at least worth a try 
on one that I have that is a particular problem.
