Not much use for them....and we all have boatloads of them. Maybe a 2/0 tuning pin necklace for your significant other? Raw material for a welding sculpture? A tuning pin chandelier?

I just throw them in a box to be recycled at the salvage metal shop across the road from me one or twice a year.

I have used some to weight hanging curtains. Sew them into the lower hem.

I put them in the boxes and use them for weights when gluing things.

I wonder if they could be made into a string of weights for grand keyboard hight levelling?

I wonder if they could be made into a string of weights for grand keyboard hight levelling? I could see that being a useful tool. If they were contained within something that would confine them but allow them to move, perhaps on end, up and down,... maybe it could work... But it would still only take a couple of piano's worth of used tuning pins. Develop it and get it to a sellable kind of thing and perhaps sell them to other techs. (??!!)

Raw material for a welding sculpture? Very nice. I'd like to see a welded sculpture of a piano player playing a grand piano, made up entirely of old 2/0 tuning pins! Haha!
