<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I wouldn't recommend using a
drill.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I use a bit holding attachment that fits into a
power screwdriver/screwdriver, and just turn by hand.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>A drill is hard to control, and ends up being too
aggressive.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>That is my take.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Others may have a method that they find works
better. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I would like to hear of any suggestions, regarding
the use of the fluted reamers, for use on pinblocks.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

some of you have some experience to share? I was wondering what kind of

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I got my fluted reamers from Pianotek. They
have six sizes from .266" to.295", they are 6" long and the flute is 1
1/2".</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I do find them better, but you have to take it

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>And what about those fluted
reamers mentionned in the Reblitz? I've tried to find these for a long

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I normally used to ream, before
repining.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>However on this latest piano, the pins
were tight on removal. Sorry, I forgot to take a torque
measurement.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I normally just go up one size, unless
they are really loose.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I am tempted to just go up the one size,
and not ream. I do use pin driving fluid.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>It is a good quality upright, a Heintzman,
with what they call an Agraffe Bridge, patented in 1895. It is the one
with the three holes drilled through the plate, aligning the
strings.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>It had no 1/2 sizes of strings. I am
adding a few that seem to improve the inharmonicity, according to
PSCALE.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
