<font size=3>Hi John,<br>
I only use the old pins, if I back the pin out one turn, then
restring. This is usually reserved for newer pianos. I often
restring the upper treble in this manner when replacing hammers on
University Yamaha's.<br>
If the pins are removed, hand ream, the 1 or 2 sizes over. Each piano is
different.<br>

I guess I should have learned, by now. Don't include a question,
with<br>
an answer to a previous question.<br><br>
Anyway, I was wondering, in restringing, I have always gone up in
size<br>
and used new pins. In some cases the old pins were fairly
tight.<br><br>
What do you do?<br><br>
