    Does anyone know the key pin sizes for Mason & Hamlin (1998 BB)?

    I have seen posted by some that most American pianos use .146 for both balance and front rails, but I have not found any data relating to the date range of those sizes.

    Should be correct at .146
    You could measure to be sure, though.

    Measure...don't guess. Otherwise just have all of your caul sizes readily available and a backup plan if you screw up. 😉

    Thanks Peter and Debra,
    Yes, I will measure, I was just curious if there's a standard size key pin for Mason and Hamlin generally.
