Bridge pin size for Yamaha A3R

[Bubbalou88]

Does anyone know the correct size Bridge Pin for the Yamaha A3R or Yamaha's in general?

I use the $29 Martin ebony pins available at GC and Sam Ash. Some sanding/fitment is required.

Thank you. I was in hopes of getting exact fitted Mammoth Ivory Pins. I previously read size 1T but have not verified this to be true.

Scroll to the bottom for Bob’s bridge-pin tables. He says 1.3T, which are 3-deg taper, 0.203” under the skirt, with the slot through the skirt. NB, he says ‘for newer models’, so...

I’d recommend you give Bob a call to discuss your needs. He’s a very nice guy and will do his best to help you out. I’ve spoken to him from England a number of times, every time was a pleasure.

I will call him. Thanks!
