For an upright you will have to lay the piano back on a tilter, then use about an entire bottle of glue, dribbling it in around the base of the pins until the glue stops going in - or you use up the bottle! Let it sit over night, then tune away. I have several clients with very elderly pianos for which this treatment has given the owners a few more years of life. Of course, it doesn't do anything for the worn out action, cracked soundboard, and alligator hide finish.......

Thanks much, Hazen Bannister Western Carolinas Chapter ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
