"pin set", test blows, string segment tension balance: Reality Check?

[paulrevenkojones at aol.com]

 Talk to Jim Ellis in Tennessee, or read his articles, or research the topic of pinsetting, twist and torque. Far be it from us to have opinions! :-)

I am looking for some clarity on the issue of settling a string/pin
in order to hold a solid unison.

When it comes to string stability, test blows, "pin set" technique,
pin twisting, pin flagpolling etc...


What do we actually KNOW about what is going on, and how do we know it?

I hear techs with various (and often conflicting) personal stories and
myths that seem to work for them, and often make intuitive sense on some

level, but how do we separate verifiable reality from what seems to be
simply "dogma" of the trade?

What actual empirical evidence do we have, and how can that be applied
to tuning hammer technique?
