What do I do with Story&Clark/Yamaha 158 grand?

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Gordon,
                    Most Yamaha's re pin very nicely with standard North 
American 2/0 pins.  The originals were a smaller metric size.
If you have to re pin think about restringing the treble, and dressing the 
capo bar, it make's a big difference.
Regards Roger
