Kimball Spinet? I would hesitate to use CA. Works great every time. If they wont hold at all, apply and come back the next day or two to touch them up. If you can get them to hold until you apply. One trip fix.

  I tuned a Kimball Spinet this morning (s/n A12066).  The overall tuning pin torque was between 30-50 inch lbs.  That is for a very marginal tuning at best.  However, the left pin of C-40 and the right/left pin of C#-41 was less than 30 inch lbs.  I mean literally the pins would take off without applying but a fraction of pressure on the hammer.  What would be the best fix for those three pins?  I know, the entire piano could use something, but with those three pins in particular what would be a good solution?  I was able to stable the tuning throughout the piano with what I had to work with, but with those pins it'll be impossible to hold it without some fix.


  Thank you
  Matthew
