<div>Tuning pin bushings come in three different heights, but they are all the same diameter and have the same size holes. They fit snug in the plate webbing, but are soft enough to allow a 3, or even a 4, tuning pin to be inserted without difficulty. <br>

<div><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am restringing a Bush & gerts grand from 1923. The pins were fairly tight so I am going up to 3s from the existing 2s. I want to use wood bushings for esthetic reasons but even the 3s seem too large for the two sizes I bought from Schaff, Do they compress ? are there any available with larger center holes ?</FONT></div>
