I still disagree, Ken. As I have experienced plenty of pianos develop looser pins in winter, when the humidity is low, I believe that this will "open up" the holes a little prior to stringing, preventing some fiber tear on pin pounding and then the pin will be a little tighter when the EMC rises. As I am not going to test this scientifically, and as I am a neurotic compulsive perfectionist with a "better safe than sorry"-"do my very best for the customer" complex, I will continue this practice until someone shows me hard scientific evidence, not just their opinion, that it is worthless.
