Snappy Baldwin Tuning Pins

[Farrell]

Gotcha! I have one of those fancy Renner tuning levers that I won as a door
prize at NC Regional two years ago. It has a lot of flex in the metal
portion of the handle. I think I get real good snap. A couple times though,
I have gotten Snap, Crackle, & Pop!

Thanks for all your witty input Ron. I wish I were sharper, it took me a
while to figure out why it would take you 52 hours to do that bridge pin
epoxy repair on the Samick I posted on the other day. Finally got it. I know
it wasn't that difficult. Thanks again.
