I agree, and have never "reamed" or redrilled for oversized pins. Just had one of our students restring a G-3 with #4 pins from #2 and have even torque in the 120# range throughout. Using a bottle-brush chucked into a drill to clean and feather the wood in the holes helps. Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
