> hopefully the pins (which are moderately loose), should be able to hold the tuning The above statement makes me think that the tuning pins ae tight enough to hold a tuning. If this is so then they are tight enough. Loose pins that will hold tune are tight enough. Making them tighter is make work and cost the customer money and time. If the pins are so loose that they will not hold a tune then the problem needs to be solved because NOT doing so wastes your time and the customers money. Not staying is too loose. Staying is tight enough. My suggestion is CA and on it's back. Once soaked in upright it and tune. Be observant and watch for leaks of CA running out the back. Now THAT would be a mess. Newton
