List,

   Just finished measuring a set of tuning pins. The set was "labeled" 3/0,
which is supposed to be .286. Well over half measured at .284. Next was
.285 and an appreciable number of .283. There were actually only 3 pins
that measured out at .286. Amazing. Can't this inconsistency be corrected?
   I believe these came from Steinway. Are the Diamond Brand pins more
consistent? Some other brand?
