Hazen, On a Steinway? Yeah, not everyone is ready for a rebuild... I like veterinary syringes with a fine needle and the thinnest CA glue available and some paper towels. These allow pin point accuracy in placement making it easier to avoid the strings and the plate. CA generally sets up fast enough that you can tune in the same sitting. I tape Saran Wrap to the underneath of the pin block because it only sets up as it is exposed to water in the wood and that can mean drops finding their way through the pinblock to stuff you really don't want CAd well after you are gone. I remove the stuff at the next service interval. Plastic wrap is probably better than tin foil because it isn't stiff enough to buzz.
