a Bechstein from DC

[Farrell]

Hmmmm, are we showing an element of prejudice? Why would a better quality
piano necessarily have blued pins? Is this not a simple matter of
preference? Isn't this kinda like: "Did you see the dress Martha wore to the
party? I can't believe anyone would wear such a thing - she must have got it
at K-Mart!"

Getting beyond such pettiness, (mine for pointing it out, and the other for
the initial statement) is there any significant difference in corrosion
resistance between nickel plated and blued tuning pins?
