I agree with Patrick 100%, for whatever that might be worth. Not saying =
CA won't work though - never tried it. I do however know that epoxy will =
make that pin solid as a rock. Be sure to use something similar to an =
unthickened West System epoxy.=20

And if you really don't want the pin to ever come out, sand the portion =
of the pin that will go into the cap a bit to make it rough, then wet =
the sandpaper with epoxy and sand the epoxy into the pin, then swab the =
hole, then drive the pin home. Wait a day and it ain't ever gonner move.

And then hope that you will already be dead when the time comes 'round =
to rebuild this thing - I hope whoever tries to pull those pins 80 years =
from now has a well-developed four-letter-word vocabulary, because s/he =
will need it!

  Is this a better fix than applying CA without removing the pin?  (Hmm, =
must be careful not to CA the string to the pin, eh?)

    Perhaps the right strings' bridge pin are loose? Try putting a bit =
of pressure on that bridge pin while playing the note. Does the false =
beat disappear? If so, one could tap the bridge pin in slightly to get =
it snug again. If the pins are really loose, drop the tension, pull the =
pin, swag the hole with a bit of epoxy, drive the pin back in, bring the =
string back up to tension, tune until stable.
