I've got a customer with loose tuning pins (well, I mean her piano, of =
course).  It's an old upright piano of nominal value.  Normally I would =
not drive the tuning pins to correct this, I would do the CA glue thing =
(unless there are indications of a more serious problem).  But in this =
case I am considering driving 'em, because:

1) The tuning pins are really high (about 1 inch), and there is lots of =
room between the coils and the plate.

2) All the pins in the piano seem to have about the same torque.  So =
that makes me think that I'm not seeing a cracked pinblock problem.    =20

Comments, support, or derision please.
