When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

on undowelled-pinblock plates
Wirbelsetzen: tuning pins or pegs.
Dübel : otherwise a 'rawplug'.
Quote: Are you aware that some pianos use rock maple plugs for the pin bushings? These are plugs driven into the plate, after which the bushing and pinblock are drilled at the same time.
With this design the string tension is born directly to the plate at the bushings, and as a result the pinblock is being pushed away from the flange by the string tension. If the pinblock screws were loosened the pins will pivot at the bushings, and this causes the bottom of the pin to push towards the pianist.
In this type of piano there is no advantage to fitting the pinblock to the flange. So check with the manufacturer to see how theirs are set up, and if the bushings are hard maple.
The maple *dowel stuffed in the plate hole* has to be very tight, or it would spin when drilled. - Don Mannino Unquote
Der Verfechter der ausgedübelten Gußplatten bin übrigens (nicht nur) ich.....:kuss:.
The cast iron plate at the centre of each Steinway weighs 340 pounds and has to withstand 40000 pounds of string tension.

Bushings for "repair" of loose tuning pins and sometimes, when the old holes have become too loose, the technicians drill bigger holes and set new bigger tuning pins:

Also, sometimes the pins have to be renewed/replaced and there are pianos that use pin bushings and ones that do not.:

Basically what is meant here is the "punching of tuning pins in tuning blocks and plates without bushings" - jeeez a little clumsy but it works.

A Wirbel is a tuning peg, so could Wirbel setzen mean tuning?
