If you are doing only a few, take off the fall board and slip some news = print across the top of the action to keep any glue from seeping through = onto the action.=20 Use a hypo needle and apply the glue at the base of the pin and let the = glue well up untill just before it is going to run. Treat other pins and = return to the first and apply a second dose. Wait 15 seconds and Tune = <G>=20 If pins are still a little loose, treat a third time. One other thing , for the neatest job, cover the pins not being treated = with an old rag so that when the applicator is turned down to apply the = glue, any spillage will not fall onto the pin area. The glue will wick into the wood, and unless you know what to look for. = the repair can not be seen. Futher repair can be made including block = replacement at a future date. I have pianos that are 10 years past their = repair and holding.

I'm in a tight spot here at the Big, Dead Hall. The B in residence = (which has been on the don't use list because it is in that kind of = shape) is going to be used on Saturday. Gee, if only I had known *last* = week. The pins are generally loose, with a few "let go of your tuning = hammer at watch it fly" types. Yes, it's a Steinway. Yes, it's in = miserable shape and I have no qualms about doing whatever I need to do = to get it hold the tune better than it does now. So, I was wondering if I removed those few spinning pins and carefully = applied the CA, would I get more holding power? I am prepared to used = my trusty sandpaper shims (I usually prefer those to larger pins). How = long should I wait before re-inserting the pins? Thanks gobs. Man, what a wild week.
