Oversized Zither Pins

5x66mm Zither Pins, Germany
These precision machined threaded tuning pins are extra long and have a hole 10mm (blued pins) or 25mm (nickel plated) from the top. They are used on the 4' register of harpsichords so that the top of the pins stick out far above the 8' strings. This allows tuning of the 4' strings without the tuning key having to reach between the 8' strings. They have a diameter of .198" (5mm) and are 2.5" (66mm) long. Use tuning keys/hammers #80110, 80112, 80130, 80132.

5.3x45mm Oversized Zither Pins
These pins are similar to the Japanese 5x45mm zither pins, except for the diameter, which is 0.3mm (.012") larger. Use the pins to replace loose 5mm zither pins. You can also use the 5.6mm pins for fortepiano to replace loose 5mm tuning pins. Use the same tuning keys/hammers as for the 5mm zither pins.
