Hello As I understand now that the end of the pin may not be stuck in the wood, I then see no reason to use pointed pins, and , beside, we have to be cautions on some nbrands as they tend to open the laminations of the bridge if tapped. So many things that we may be cautious about ! I've been told too that the Epoxy is not known for its sound conduction capacities. Particularely when driven in the wood, the effect may well be the dampening of some higher partials when used. I like the idea of brass for its lubricant capacities, but it may be a little soft metal maybe (but I undestand it is way less soft than iron of capo bar) I can use stainsless pins, rounded, do anyone have some idea about it ? Very hard to file without warming a lot. Regards to all. I follow the duplex discussion, hopefully I will have some infos on the subject by someone that build pianos.
