<BR>The tuning pin holes in the plate from G#3 up are countersunk. The tuning
<BR>pin holes from G3 down are drilled straight. Is there a particular reason
<BR>for the difference?

<BR>This is not just on a D. All Steinways have this. I asked for the reason why
<BR>several months ago, and no one seemed to know the answer. Maybe you'll have
<BR>better luck.
