Dear Chuck,
I know the rule of thumb to go up two sizes from Reblitz. But as the pins can be bought here in Germany in size steps of 0,05 mm, What brand ? never seen that ? Noticed the "low torque" tuning pins with a thinner top section diameter, from Klinke. Good idea. I only used Biene or Klinke and dimensions are the same standardized diameters.

A colleague who specialized in tuning historical instruments told me that we "cheat" when tuning them, the idea is to give "an impression of justness" it is really up to the tuner to accept or not some intervals, and play with the unisons. Thank,Isaac.I understood about "an impression of justness"

Dear Chuck,

Noticed the "low torque" tuning pins with a thinner top section diameter, from Klinke. Good idea. I only used Biene or Klinke and dimensions are the same standardized diameters. I can order Biene/Klinke in sizes of 6.6 / 6.75 / 6.9 / 7.0 / 7.10 / 7.15 / 7.20 / 7.25 / 7.30 / 7.35 / 7.5 / 7.65 / 7.75 Especially, when I have the old tuning pin with size 6.9 or 7.0 what would be the right upsize of the new tuning pins?

"I can order Biene/Klinke in sizes of 6.6 / 6.75 / 6.9 / 7.0 / 7.10 / 7.15 / 7.20 / 7.25 / 7.30 / 7.35 / 7.5 / 7.65 / 7.75" - Upright Dear Upright - 13 thickness sizes! Does each thickness come in 3 sizes of length, as they do here, and also in choice of blued or nickle plated? If they do, holy cow! I'd be in trouble! Chuck

so from 7.00 I'd go to 7.15 and see if it works.
some of those dimensions are too thick to be useful today. the smallest one may exist only in small lengths is not it ?

"Correct, these sizes, blued or nickel plated, 5 sizes of length (52 / 55 / 57 / 60 / 64 mm)" - Upright Dear Upright - If my math is correct, your supplier has 130 types of pins available?! 13 thicknesses X 5 lengths X 2 finishes? I have a compulsion (my wife says obsession) for purchasing supplies. Fortunately for me, my supplier (Schaff) has a more limited selection of tuning pins: [img:center]http:// [/img] I'd have to big a bigger set of shelves if I lived over there! Chuck
