>...Wegman...Tuning pin fastening patented... >What does this refer to? >Regards, Clyde By backing off the tension on one of the tuning pins, Clyde, the reference will become crystal clear. There is no wood pinblock and no threads on the tuning pin. The tuning pin is shorter than normal, flat on one end and manages to hold itself in tune by "fastening/wedging" itself in its metal holding socket once tension is established on the string attached to it.
