  Same question with a different twist. I service a Yamaha C3 that was
recently restrung (not by me). The stringer used tuning pins in the bass
that were obviously bigger than optimal. The bass tuning pins are easily in
excess of 300 inch-pounds torque - I will not be surprised when I twist a
pin in half. And when they do turn, they jump, and the pitch will change
anywhere from 20 to 40 cents. Getting the pitch anywhere near target is a
crap-shoot. Any ideas beyond removing pin, reaming, and reinstalling?
