One of the not so bright OZ tuners many years ago thought a good way to treat loose pins was to reverse the coil. (no CA glue in those days)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This meant he could then drive the pin in another quarter of a inch. It ended up with a tight pin..but..only 3/8 of a inch was left for a hammer to fit on. $%^&$.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Of course he missed the point, that while he had the pin out he could have easily packed or replaced the pin!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I must admit I love the look of those wood "work of art" Hammers...Where can I buy one --))</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Regards</DIV> <DIV>Robin</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV id=IncrediOriginalMessage><I></I> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV id=receivestrings> <DIV dir=ltr style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt" <i> </DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV><A href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives"></A></DIV> </DIV></TD></TR> <TR> <TD id=INCREDIFOOTER width="100%"> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD width="100%"></TD> <TD id=INCREDISOUND vAlign=bottom align=middle></TD> <TD id=INCREDIANIM vAlign=bottom align=middle></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
