Thanks, John & others.

>The holes are not driven all the way through to allow tapping the pins.

That's kind of what I'd already assumed. Thanks for confirming it.

>The height of the tuning pins controls the amount of downbearing on the

I hadn't really thought about that. I guess I'm just too used to pianos. :-)

>I've forgotten what the correct height should be, but it has to do with
>the deflection angle. Can you look at the others and get a general idea?

Can (& will) do. Should have already done it!

>Best I can do. :-)

That's fine. You bought up something I "might" not have taken into account.
Thanks.
