loose bridge pins

Probably, but it won't make them tighter.

CA works as well. Do you mean just pins, or pins and strings?

Yes.

Now, why do you want to tighten the pins? If there are no cracks, what are 
you hoping to accomplish in the bass? What about the treble? What's the 
situation with the piano, and what kind of piano, that indicated you needed 
to make the pins tighter?
