I did this using protek and repinning with Yamaha center pins available from Schaff. I have done three pianos this way, the first one five years ago, and can say that it hasn't come back yet. These pianos were moderately affected by the verdigris, and not as bad as some I've seen. I think Kent Swafford has a good point as to the degree of verdigree determining the outcome of such fixes.

Seems that if the brass were not in contact with the offending cloth and parafin it might slow down the creeping green crud. Susan ----------------
