Amen. But this problem got a lot better when Don Mannino's broaches became 
readily available. A lot more even pinning became practical at that point.

Has anyone worked out (or observed) the difference in sound for uneven 
versus even pinning between the two sides of a flange, given the same 
number of swings? One can, of course, imagine the difference in durability.
