ROGER JOLLYS' IDEA WORKED

[Lance Lafargue]

It worked for me, too, Mike.  You may try water thin CA on the pins later,
w/out getting it on the string/pin termination.  Apply w/needle-nose
applicator from the back side, away from the string.

Hi,
     Tapping judiciously straight down on the bridge pins themselves as
I understand from RJs' recent post worked.  C# in the killer octave of
this five year old D has been an especially troubling note for lack of
power and sustain. Improved instantl about 30%.
     This piano has been through repeated documented 19%-93% humidity
swings,  probably much higher unrecorded.  Don't' know how many times
one can tap a bridge pin or how long such will last.   Perhaps after
they get the HVAC fixed, if ever, all of these pins should be epoxied
back in.

Try this on your deadest note and see!
