Re: Michael Lowenstern's bass clarinet breaks during video

I use anything from 0.8mm to 1.0mm and a similar diameter needle spring or the nearest imperial size that's a tight fit.

Once you mount the pin in your bench motor chuck, use a countersink to centre drill the head, then use a twist drill to drill all the way through held in a pin vice or with pliers which will drill through and keep centred. You can see the drill going through the pin as it's translucent.

If it does wander off a bit but still remains within the pin, then that'll be fine.
