[CAUT] existing pinblock prep

[Paul T Williams]

Good call,  especially in a practice room.  saves both money and time. I'm 
doing two this coming year.

BTW  Thanks to all about the Wurzen-Ronsen hammers for the Baldwin D.  I'm 
getting real happy with what's going on...  the conical front rail 
punchings really do make a better feel to the action.  No observation to 
tone improvement since all action was replaced!!  It all iimproved!!!!!!!

Thanks
 Paul

I agree completely and do the same...I'm also wondering if the torque is 
fine and you are restringing why do we necessarily have to go up a pin 
size?

 My own attitude in this situation is why change pins? I do most of my 
restringing at the university using the same pins (removing old strings 
from them, and attaching new strings to them, same techniques as replacing 
an individual string, but mass produced). I only change to a new, larger 
sized pin when torque has become an issue for tuning stability. Reusing 
existing pins requires a different technique for restringing, but I find 
that, all things considered, it is probably a bit faster than changing 
pins. 
 Just another perspective. It does prolong the useful life of the pinblock 
as well.
