DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE them puppies! Hammer away!

Sure, why not? It's an old upright that's seen its best days, it's fast, =
cheap, effective, will last awhile, won't hurt anything - coils are =
already too high. I'd do it. I've done it! (Not that that means squat.)  =
  ;-)

If it doesn't work, them CA 'em.

  Subject: Drive Tuning Pins?


  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.
