The #2 seems to fit most of the pianos that I service - I keep old #2s, #1s, & 3s and change whenever the fit doesn't feel right - which isn't that often. My first mentor changed them with great regularity. I recently purchased a Hale #2 tip from APSCO and it is larger than my old #2 Hale. I haven't told them yet. I've never had much luck talking with them anyway. Whenever I want better service I go to Schaff. I wonder about that standardization. The tips wear, the pins wear... what're ya going do?
