Thanks David. Are you aware of the size of the Steinway and Yamaha base portion of the front rail pins - i.e. is the base of the Steinway pin going to fit properly into the factory hole in the Yamaha front rail? I guess one could always drill out a hole, but it would be harder to make a hole smaller. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- The new Steinways front rail pins are 0.125" but their balance rail pins are 0.146" __________________________ David M.

Are you aware of a source for plated key pins for Yamaha - front rail = 0.125-inch and center rail = 0.137-inch? Terry Farrell
