Hi Pierre,
The fluted reamers are very hard to make even both sides of a flange.
The opening page of my site shows my kit of 12 straight reamers =
graduated in .001
These are available from Jahn, or you can order direct.=20

    I normally used to ream, before repining.
    However on this latest piano, the pins were tight on removal. Sorry, =
I forgot to take a torque measurement.
    I normally just go up one size, unless they are really loose.
    I am tempted to just go up the one size, and not ream. I do use pin =
driving fluid.

    I would like to be reminded of the pros, and cons of each procedure.

    It is a good quality upright, a Heintzman, with what they call an =
Agraffe Bridge, patented in 1895. It is the one with the three holes =
drilled through the plate, aligning the strings.

    It had no 1/2 sizes of strings. I am adding a few that seem to =
improve the inharmonicity, according to PSCALE.
