Greetings, While we are talking about Barbara's pins, I wonder how much time it takes for us to repin a hammerline. I got pretty fast at it, and Don Maninno's pinning class certainly validated and improved some of my procedures, etc. For most important regulation work, I now include repinning the hammerline as standard procedure. If I have to pin all of them, and there is no repairs to be done, like regluing splits or rebushing flanges, it takes me about 90 minutes. I bet there are younger, faster, techs around, so how much time does it take others? (I use a duplicator jig to remember where the string cuts line up before removing all the hammerflanges, (sorta like Steve Jellen's jig of many years ago). I can then correct traveling as I reinstall them without losing my hammer spacing.) regards, Ed Foote RPT http://www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/index.html www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/well_tempered_piano.html <BR><BR><BR>**************<BR>A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
