Dag, OOR! Old-fashioned --- heck, it works for me! At least with tuning. But CA glue, with and without white glue, and a few drops of vodka for voicing ... I guess that's innovative, nowadays, though I think that the alcohol voicing is an old technique being rediscovered. By the way, a customer from Denmark has an old Zimmerman upright -- lots of very loose pins. I've used CA glue on almost a dozen, not much on each except for two really bad ones, where I took the string off the pin, turned it out about half-way, soaked it well with CA (piano was tilted) and turned it back in. For one I took the pin completely out and swabbed the hole with CA, then soaked the pin with it, and turned it back in. That pin was a little bit jumpy, while the others were about right. Most of the rest only got a few drops. I don't have to constantly go back and retune bad notes anymore. Susan
