There is no need to replace them, as they are not loose, and will look better. Just turn them the smallest amount that lets you remove the old string, then pre-wind a coil on the new string.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609171915-11102008> <P class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left><FONT size=2>Scott Jackson<BR>Mt Keira, NSW, Australia. </FONT></P></SPAN></FONT> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> </FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><SPAN class=609171915-11102008> </SPAN>-----Original Message-----<BR></DIV></FONT></FONT> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=609171915-11102008><FONT color=#0000ff size=2> </FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=609171915-11102008> </SPAN> My question is, should I retain the old tuning pins to keep it visually consistent with the other tuning pins, or should I replace them with new pins. Tuning pin tightness across the piano is now equal, so there is no reason to change them from that standpoint. My concern is visual and value.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Al Guecia</FONT></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
