[pianotech] tuning pin tightness

[David Love]

You could probably do it without actually restringing.  Back off the pins
and remove the coils.  Run the pins all the way out, ream and them pound
them back in.  Reattach the strings.  Might be a pain in the low bass but
that's still a far cry better than complete restringing.  Figure out some
way to keep the non agraffe strings in order.

 On one the pins are so tight they pop, most of the quite loudly

making it un-tunable for all practical purposes

 

Restring and ream the holes for a proper fit.
