As to the noise level of the LH lower segment keys, my mid-80's R-13 was worked over by Wesley Rice using some method that he employs. It is very smooth and very silent, and I'm certain that the original metal pin is in there with some coating like shrink tubing or the like. The response is instant and there is no slop -- 100% better than the current Buffet plastic pin.

My Malerne uses a fulcrum that pushes the key up from the bottom. (All metal, no plastic, no problem).

My Yamaha has a metal pin 7 years old from the factory, no slop, no plastic, not noisy - perfect.

What's the need of a fragile plastic pin?
I'm convinced the current Buffet pin gives a wonderful response without noise, but considering it can break at any moment, it seems hardly worth it.
