No Bushings/Tuning Pin Size

[Farrell]

My guess is that this one had been restrung about 200 years ago. It had 4/0
pins (mostly, and a few bigger ones). I have my doubts these were the
original pins. I'm starting from scratch and want to make the most
reasonable decisions I can. Anyone have good knowledge of this situation?
Hey Joe Garrett!!!!!
