[pianotech] Centre pins

[David Boyce]

  Oh I've seen bullet-point pins like that too!  When I bought my centre 
pin holder from Heckschers many years ago, it came with some centre pins 
of various sizes in it, and they were just like that; highly polished, 
with the bullet nose instead of conical nose.  Not that this helps you 
at all - sorry!

Best regards,

David.
