If so, I'd be real concerned about consistency. I don't think I could do a very good job (of course, that doesn't mean someone else could not!). Just don't make 'em as tight as the bass pins on the Inspiration - I'm still waiting for one of those pins to snap clean off (I suspect those holes were not reamed or redrilled)!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE 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=mcpianos@hotmail.com href="mailto:mcpianos@hotmail.com">Marcel Carey</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> Tuesday, September 02, 2008 5:04 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> RE: Reaming tuning pin holes</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Pat,<BR> <BR>I would not use .272 for a .276 pin. .268 or .266 would be my choice. At least bring some more sizes of drill bits and test before you drill them all.<BR> <BR>Marcel Carey<BR>Sherbrooke, QC<BR><BR><BR><BR> <DIV>Yeah I'm headed out to do the Imagination this Thursday. I'm planning on using a .272 drill bit for the .276 TP's. From my experience, I would say it's a far cry better than just stuffing in a 1/0 pin into a previously .266 slot. The "green" block is definitely the case here, the wood in the Y's are still very tight. </DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV><BR> <HR> Obtenez votre dose d'information sur votre cellulaire.
