Loose Tuning Pins-Drink Spilled

[gordon stelter]

If you want to do a more cosmetically nice job, flip
the piano over and apply the CA to the pins from
underneath. Then put it on top if that isn't enough.
Yesterday I did a Yamaha/Story and Clark for a church
like this. Today it tunes like a brand-new block!
Glorious.
     ( But I would pre-tune the piano prior to ca-ing,
as it will put little caps over the pin bottoms,
inhibiting further downward travel. 
     But I filled these ones right up, and it had a
VERY nice feel on all the pins after drying (24 hours)
after first "letting down" the tension a bit, to break
the initial bond.
     Cheers!
