CA Glue for pin blocks

[Dean May]

A quality soft block like Bolduc will tolerate a lower torque pin and still
give adequate holding power to maintain the tension. If they don't slip I
wouldn't mess with them. Just be thankful for a pin that is extremely easy
to set. 

 

Contact the rebuilder as per the other suggestion and find out what he wants
to do.

A matter related to this thread:  I have a client with a recently rebuilt
piano, including a new (Bolduc) pinblock.  The torque is acceptable on
many/most of the tuning pins, but is too low on several.  The low-torque
pins are not so loose as to not hold (at least, not yet), but make it harder
to tune accurately and, especially, to get into a good groove as one moves
along from string to string. 

 

So the question is: Should I use CA on the looser pins, even though this is
an otherwise healthy, new block (I'm guessing some drilling discrepancies
are the culprit), or would CA now present problems when we restring again
(on this same block) down the road?  And, if I should NOT CA it, what then?

 

Thanks,

 

Alan Eder
