Paul, I've not seen any response to your question. Any sent privately? I'm particularly interested in what you mention because I need to restring our Hamburg D (or possibly just the top two sections again). I've already gone to 3/0 pins the first time I restrung it and don't want to go larger. Since I prefer to make the coil on the pin and *then* drive it in, this sounds like a good way to stay with the 3/0 pins, even if I restring the entire piano. I'm afraid if I take the pins out and try to reuse them, they'll be too loose to hold well in those sections. I guess I could swab the holes with the CA glue treatment discussed recently. Comments anyone? Thanks. Avery >Here's the situation. I have a block that I am going to swab the existing >holes with Webb Phillip product Lakeone wood rebuilder.
