Hi Jim, 2/0 pins would also be considered oversized, if repinning an Asian piano, a lot less expensive than purchasing metric oversized pins. I repinned a Yamaha grand with their next sized pins, suprise they were about .002" larger or smaller than #2/0. suprise #2 they arrived in packages of 5, sealed in little poly bags. Since then I've been repinning asian pianos with 2/0 pins with great results. Half the price.
