Pins?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey youse guys! You're advocating =
Driving the
pins on this piano, before knowing what kind of piano it is!!!!!! =
There are
some pianos, that have a plate configuration that requires the =
tuning pin
to be quite high, by most standards we see! If you drive the pins, =
(too
deep), on this kind of a piano, you will cause excess string =
angle which
could cause string breakage!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You all should be aware of the fact =
that the TOP
of the Pinblock is the area that needs to be tight in order to give =
sufficient
pin torque/feel. NOT the bottom of the hole! Driving pins is like the =
olde Pin
Dope....it works for a short time only, in my experience!</FONT></DIV>
