Maybe a partial subjective body expereince but as Nick G. said a pin is enrergized under load and feels quite different undertension is brought at pitch. There is a different feel between just pounded and turned and in turning with the tension on. Now pass the Muffins Dale . Or a muffin. (sorry) Another thing: I've noticed that pin torques two or three days after stringing feel higher than when you're installing them. This may be a body calibration illusion relative to the different levels of violence imparted whether stringing or tuning, and I've never taken actual measurements, but it's worth a look. How do those test piece torques match up today? Ron N -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
