Tight Tuning Pins
By Bruce Clark 

I just had my Haines baby Ampico restrung, and new Able light hammers
installed.  The job was nicely done, but the tuning pins are ever-so-
tight!  About three pins jump when I try to tune, and the rest are so
tight that I nearly bend my tuning wrench, and it is nearly impossible
to get the unisons in good tune.  I am told that this condition will
improve in a few months.

Any remedy for this problem?  What is the opinion of others?
