Roger Mega dittos on this. We have measured so many Denros to our complete annoyance and dissatisfaction. A number 3 pin...is technically .286 pin The denros typically measure at about 80% at .284 or less. The other 20 percent are under or over that by 1 or 2 thous. The diamonds measure a true size 95 % of time, and if they are under its not by more than 1 thous.

That's enough to produce an irritating difference in pin torque. Also, ( this is a big one) the Denro pins aren't always round, which contributes to jumpy pins. Roger Gable P.S. I just bought a set of Diamond Pins. The current price is $164.00 ----- Original Message ----- From: Noah Frere To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 12:25 PM Subject: [pianotech] tuning pins I can understand different prices for different qualities, but $52.95 Denro vs. $142 Diamond seems like a lot. Any reason I shouldn't order Denro? -- Ryan Sowers, RPT Puget Sound Chapter Olympia, WA www.pianova.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
