>Where can you buy these?  Do they install without removing the pinblock?  Do
they work.  I have a situation where the piano was rebuilt with #5 pins about
a year ago.  I am suspicious that the technician contaminated the pins with
skin secretions, because now the pins are rusty and they "jump" in the holes
to the point where they are untunable.  Most of the pins are this way.  We
had high humidity in Michigan last summer.  This is a small grand, not the
best piano in  the world but probably worth saving if it can be done without
remortgaging the houseThinking maybe the
Falconwood inserts are worth a try, if I understand creectly how they are
used.

Thanks in advance
