Hello list, Yesterday I had my first(and hopefully last) experience with a broken tuning pin. An upright Knabe, broken at the becket hole on the pin closest to the pressure bar. The pin in question is very tight. I've seen two different tools in supply house catologues: A simple tap and die, and something that has a reverse thread that looks like it threads itself onto the outer diameter of the broken pin. I have about 3/8ths of an inch of exposed pin to work with. Any one out there had the pleasure of experiencing this? I would appreciate any advice regarding type of tools used, any particular techniques or tricks that worked. Thank you in advance, Dale Davidson RPT Ottawa, Ont., Canada ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
