<WBR>When I had to restring one about 15 years ago, the tech department told me there is no "secret" much less a printed formula to set the downbearing. He said just make a jig out of of a small piece of wood with a V cut out of one end, and sand the height of the wood to fit under the string. Then just place this jig against each accu hitch pin and put on the string. Of course you have to make the jig before unstringing the piano. <br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<br> Piano Tuner/Technician<br> Honolulu, HI<br> Author of <br> The Business of Piano Tuning<br> available from Potter Press<br> www.pianotuning.com</div> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: AlliedPianoCraft <AlliedPianoCraft@hotmail.com><br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Tue, 1 Jan 2008 11:04 am<br> Subject: Acu-Just hitch pins<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_b6c98c10-66f5-487b-b1a3-6269c9a71cdd> <div><FONT face=Arial>I am restringing a Baldwin grand with acu-just hitch pins.
