I have a Zuckermann French double over from Norway. When removing the strings, when wanting to pull off the coils from the tuning pins, many of those just came out. These are the tapered pins, that have quite a long tapered point, and consequently, as rather small length of cylindrical full width inside the plank. In this case I choose to replace them for fully cylindrical pins that are only mildly chamfered at the bottom. Should make a lot of difference!
