Yup, on a grey market Kawai 7'. It was the first of the five pianos 
I've CA'd so far, to have TP bushings (or at least not pulled forward 
by string tension, to have a gap at the base of the tuning pin). I 
wasn't about to waste expensive CA on the bushings, so I drilled a 
~.050" hole on the front side of the bushing (facing the pianist). 
~240 holes tool 40 minutes.
