Grooved pins are a relatively recent development. Both my 19th-c. guitars
still carry old and un-grooved pins. I'm not certain if it makes much
difference, but I suspect the un-grooved pins might be a little less prone
to allowing knot ejection.

That's interesting. I know the bridge on my guitar is not original. But
I think the rest is!
