Yamaha Key Bushing Replacement

[Porritt, David]

Sorry, not a clue!  The change to 0.125 has been recent enough that I
haven't replaced any keypins.

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.

The new Steinways front rail pins are 0.125" but their balance rail pins
are 
0.146"

Indeed, that is what I would like to do, but as I stated in my original 
post, "I don't see that the supply houses offer plated/steel pins in the

Yamaha size." Are you aware of a source for plated key pins for Yamaha -

front rail = 0.125-inch and center rail = 0.137-inch?
