Chrome versus Nickel plated tuning pins

[Michael Gamble]

I tuned a Young Chang G-157 (N0.G.097421) today and it uses chrome/plated
wrest pins.

Ah, good. That's a relief. Is anyone using these in production, that

considered to be a high quality and desirable product that is 
difficult to get manages to stay in business.
