    I have repinned my share of sticky Asian flanges, but not in the last
    couple of years.

    If anyone is repinning a Korean or other piano that has the typical
    sticky flanges that don't respond permanently to lubrication, the type
    that become worse after playing could you save me a few of the flange pins?

    I would like them sent, preferably wrapped in tissue or toweling, but a
    simple envelope should be all that is necessary to get them to me.

    This includes pins that you believe are sticking due to flaking plating.

    The make, model and SN would also be helpful.
