Looking for unslotted oversized bridge pins (preferably rosewood), dizzy from search the net. Anyone know a supplier? |

Current plastic (Martin) ones average out at 5.6 mm, plan was to taper (3 deg) the pinhole, slot the bridge, and my trigonometry is useless.... 0.235" (5.97 mm) are the oversized, slotted waverleys from SM, so figured that would be about right. |

Sorry Colin, I have a bunch of .220" 3 and 5 degree pins but none that big. I went through the same search. I sent a note to Stew mac at the time that un-fluted, over-sized pins were a real need but apparently they still disagree. A lot of plate wear could be stopped if they were available.  Guess we should have bought Gurian.
