If you don$B!G(Jt ream then the #3 (or larger) pin will extend deeper into the hole originally drilled for a #2 pin but was not reached and therefore expanded by the original pin. That can make the pin very tight at the bottom of the hole and can create some rendering problems. So, if going up in size in the original block I believe you should stick with the original length.<<</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"><BR>(B

(J As I see it, a #3 pin is no longer than a #2, so I don't understand the link between depth of wear and size of pin. Also, it seems to me that most Steinway pianos use a 2 1/2" pin to begin with. Did I miss something, here? <BR>(B
