CA Glue for pin blocks

Thanks for this, Dean.



Should I take it from what you wrote that I should not expect those pins with low torque now to become too loose anytime in the near future?

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,
