[pianotech] Pin height

Why was this picture taken, and why posted?  Ron N called it 
"unfinished".  We don't know if represents the finished product or if 
it's only just been strung, and prior to pins being driven to 
finished level.  Even without addressing the angle, which I find a 
bit difficult to ascertain,  the pin height itself would account for 
the looseness of the coils.  Surely flagpolling would be an issue, 
even with tuning-pin bushings.  If, on another hand, the pins are 
already at a secure torque, I would hate to see (or feel) what that 
would read if pins were driven to correct height.

It's misguided, I think, to get into a heated debate as to whether 
concern for appearances can be perceived as an indicator of a 
fundamental approach to the work, in general, or whether it can come 
to supplant, or cover for the lack of such.
