<HTML>Hi all, I've come across a piano that has a broken tuning pin(it was like that w= hen I got there...really...).  There is nothing square left on the pin = fragment still in the plate.  It is in the very corner, where strut mee= ts strut next to the stretcher.  Hacksawing a slot may be difficult. &n= bsp;I'm looking for advice as to the best way to get this out.   This isn't an urgent situation, since the tech that was involved in the = breakage has said he'd get it out, and get a new pin and string in, but I ha= ve my doubts that that will occur, so I'd like to be ready with a solution o= r two should I be called on to deal with this. Thanks in advance, Dave Stahl </HTML>
