(About five pins in a line which are extremely loose) I was told by another technician to use CA glue for the repair. I ordered the CA Glue kit, but the examples of uses doesn't specifically refer to repairing a cracked pin block. >> If it is, in fact, a badly split pinblock, I doubt if a CA fix would do much good. However, I would recommend your applying the "fix" perhaps using medium viscosity CA in the areas that are bad. If it does work, all well and good- if not, you have only lost a few bucks and gained some valuable experience. Winter pianos are really not worth going much further-such as replacing the pinblock. This "advice", along with others that I am sure you will get, should help. Isn't this List wonderful? Bob Bergantino, RPT Willoughby Hills, Ohio
