Cooked in a fishing rod case with a DC heater rod for three days, the average pin height above the bridge cap measured 0.126". After three days in a plastic container with an open bowl of water, average pin height was 0.117". Better not file those pins too low in the winter. >> Ron: Sorry I didn't get to this in my other note. This is very interesting. What do you attribute this to, wood shrinkage or pin shrinkage? Or both? By the way, I thoroughly enjoy your responses. I have a lot to learn yet, thank the gods, or this business would be become tiresome pretty rapidly. PR-J
