good price for CA

[David Vanderhoofven]

Hi William,

I agree, it was probably a weak tuning pin that caused it to snap.  I have 
been very careful since that experience to tune within 2 or 3 days at the 
latest, and also not to use to much CA glue.  I use less CA glue if the 
pinblock has already been treated before.

Thanks for you comments.
