    Greetings,

    A client has, among his many period keyboard instruments, two with "old time" oblong tuning pins. The oblong tips I have acquired from the usual supply houses are all much too loose to be useful. He has a lever with a better fit that works well enough for one of these instruments, but the other one requires more clearance (= a greater distance from the business end of the tip to the lever itself).

    If any one either has something that answers to this description or can direct me to a source, I would appreciate your letting me know.

    Thanks,

    Alan
