I took a long bolt 7" to 8" long (size that fits snugly into the collar of the nailer. Cut off the head and treads and drilled a hole in the bottom (about 1/2" deep) to go onto the tuning pin. Because it's mild steel the hole smoothes out like glass and never mars the tuning pin. Would never go back to the hammer.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Al Guecia<BR>Allied PianoCraft<BR>PO Box 1549<BR>High Point, NC 27261<BR>(336) 454-2000<BR><A href="mailto:PianoTech@alliedpianocraft.com">PianoTech@alliedpianocraftcom</A><BR><A href="http://www.alliedpianocraft.com">www.alliedpianocraft.com</A></FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=dave@davispiano.com href="mailto:dave@davispiano.com">Dave Davis</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Saturday, January 12, 2008 11:57 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: Pneumatic tuning pin driver for sale?</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks.
