<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 3882135, member: 55"]I don't know; generally the simple-style pins used for autoharps and zithers have very noticeable threads at the bottom, and a hole near the top for the string; the upper hole shows relief for the stirng, to avoid breakage. They are carefully screwed into the pinblock, just enough to put the hole for the string at the right height; and I'd assume the simplest sort of pins for upright or Irish harps are similar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
