List, Just wanted to let you all know how the repair job turned out on the Baldwin Monarch baby grand that I asked about last week. Turned the little guy over without any trouble. Then CA glue in the pinblock from the underside of the block and let it dry for about 4 hours. Turned it over, and was disappointed at the results since there were several pins still too loose. Then I applied CA from the top and things began to be much improved. The piano is now sort of tuneable--everything except for really fine tuning, which is not extremely important on this piano anyway. I ran out of CA or would have done a third application from the top. After the next application (must order more CA), things should be pretty good considering where this piano was originally. Some of the pins even required a good deal of effort to turn after the initial breaking free. Thanks all for your help and advice. John Formsma Blue Mountain, MS
