Jeff For cleaning out the holes, get a .22 caliber rifle bore brush. You probably need several of them for one block.

New topic! When restringing and retaining the existing pinblock - for instance, the pins are not loose, but you are improving bridges, capo, agraffes, etc, - do you use anything on the pinblock holes, such as gun cleaning brush (what size?), reamers (also what size?) and what results have you had? has anyone done any "scientific" research with this? As in, I've never treated some holes one way and others a different way to check results. Just wanting to know what you prefer.? ? Thanks,? -- Jeff Farris? Piano Technician? School of Music?
