C88, won¹t work, no spoon.
If it is a bass note, then use the bottom note.
Treble use the last spooned one, then move them all down one.
When you remove a pin and it seems to need a much larger pin, sieze the hole
with a watery glue mixture.
Possibly it might be a place for C/A glue, it will make the hole smaller,
and then you could use a smaller pin.
As long as the bushing is then not too loose.
