We observed deeply bound π- 1s states in 115,119,123sn for the first time in 116,120,124Sn(d, 3He) reactions at recoil free conditions to determine the 1s binding energies and the widths precisely. A preliminary result is used to deduce the isovector scattering amplitude as b1 = 0.115 ± 0.005 m π-1. The observed enhancement of b1 over the free πN value infers 35% reduction of fπ2 at the normal nuclear density, ρ = 0.17 fm-3.
