I always use the blued pins, especially on vintage pianos. They also look better, in my view.

I'm sure others will benifit from it as well. I have not had the occassion to use the 1/2 sizes yet but it is a great idea when restringing over an exsisting block. And I agree that diamond pins are worth the money. I will say I like the blued ones merely as it appears the threads are cut after the bluing process. The nickel ones appear that they are cut and then plated which I don't like. I have been assured that isn't the case by P-tek but it sure looks like it.
