The toothpick will get chewed up pretty quick. If you gotta use a cheap repair.. I suppose epoxy or CA glue is your best route. If the block is solid tho.. I prefer just changing the pin to a larger one. You will get a lot of varying answers to this kinda question so you are going to have to end up using your own judgement in the end. Whatever you do.. try out different things when you get the chance and monitor the results over time. In the end you will find what works best. fwilliam@collegeclub.com wrote: > List, > I am a relatively new piano tuner looking to find the best way to deal > with loose pins, if there's only one or two on the instrument.
