Pin Problems

[Larry Fisher]

I've used the alcohol treatment in the tuning pin hole trick and it
reduced the amount of jump enough so that the piano could be tuned with
out setting aside lots of extra time to accomodate the jumping pin, can't
put it where you want it frustration.  I did a bit more than just swab it
however, I covered the underside of the hole with my pinky, and poured
wood alcohol in, stirred the puddle with a piece of pianner wahr, rubbing
the sides of the hole, then letting the alcohol dribbbbble all over my
hand and into a rag laying on the keybed under the hole.  I tried an
oversize pin first with out reaming, then the alcohol, then the same
oversized pin back in the same hole with the same string.  Worked good,
lasted long, and still is.

Why would any one choose to live in Greenie River, of all the places on
this planet.....ofcourse there's always Rock Springs......right??

Good Luck Thane and say hi to Jerry, Lyle, Ron and Larry at Fanelli's for
me ok??
