Great video! I’ve been playing the guitar for 50+ years and I never knew there were 2 different tappers of bridge pins! Maybe because I’ve only played mainly Gibsons and Martins?

I have a new (2024) Martin 0-18. The bridge pin holes are NOT tapered at all. The bridge is drilled one size all the way thru. Then the top, and bridge plate inside have a hole just a little smaller than the bridge hole. So, in this case, how do you fit new bridge pins? Martin plastic pins fit. But their Ebony pins do not fit. They are too large. Thanks for the video!
