4mm is parr for the course until quite late in the 18th.c. but even
Stein and David Schiedmayer still use ±4mm pins and that is which
thicker wire and higher tension. Tangis have ±4.2. Ruckers 3, 3.5 for
the 4' 3.5 and 4 for the 8'. etc etc. Even Lorenz Schiedmayer still has
4.2 (flat and NO holes) in the treble in 1815.
