more trouble than it's worth (was tune, chip with oversized pins?)

[daniel carlton]

hi guys
thanks for the input.

*I don't get the question exactly.  Are you replacing tuning pins without
restringing?  The whole set?*

yes, the whole set, without restringing.

*...damper adjustments. etc. Speaking of which, you should remove the
dampers when repinning, especially in the bass.*

i didn't want to get into dampers. i still at the point where i don't like
them. uh but i guess if i'm to do the job i have no choice. at this point,
the owner might as well replace the block. i guess she had it "rebuilt"
20-30 years ago. she called it rebuilt, but it might have just been a
refurbish without a new block because the pins are so loose.

these are the jobs that are frustrating to me, because it's always "well if
you're going to do this, you might as well do that, and if you're going to
do that, then you might as well do this." i think it's the stress of not
knowing how much to estimate.

anyway...

daniel
