<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial>Same question with a =
different twist.
I service a Yamaha C3 that was recently restrung (not by me). The =
stringer used
tuning pins in the bass that were obviously bigger than optimal. The =
bass tuning
pins are easily in excess of 300 inch-pounds torque - I will not be =
surprised
when I twist a pin in half. And when they do turn, they jump, and the =
pitch will
change anywhere from 20 to 40 cents. Getting the pitch anywhere near =
target is a
crap-shoot. Any ideas beyond removing pin, reaming, and
reinstalling?</FONT></DIV>
