Original pin block

I wonder. I'd bet nobody sorted the original pins, and there 
was likely more variation in size then than with today's cut 
thread pins (as I recall from micing rolled thread pins 30 
years ago). So the existing holes are neither uniform, nor 
calibrated bass to treble. Sorting pins could well lessen the 
probability of putting an undersized pin in an oversize hole 
in the bass, but in as soft a block as Steinway's, I'd think 
it's a boarder line return.

Ok, I'll quit observing now and go back to work.
