[pianotech] Harpsichord Tuning Pin Torque?

[David Doremus]

  Joe, I also work on squares and birdcages and Erards and English 
grands. I don't mess with the original design unless I have a very good 
reason too. In fact I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how they 
did what they did, big tip of the hat to all the folks like John 
Delacour, for example, who put in the time to show us how to duplicate 
french underdampers properly. I learn so much on this list!
