good price for CA

[Don]

Hi David,

Next time a tuning pin gets "too tight" use your tuning pin punch to break
it free, instead of twisting it off flush to the plate.

I had an out of town client use no less than 12 oz of glue on an old
upright...the end result was pleasantly tight tuning pins.

It is usually true that less CA glue is necessary when "pin dope" has been
used on a piano.
