Did I read somewhere that vinegar can be used to tighten up wood joints….like the ones in old piano benches?
 
Would anyone be able to confirm or deny this….and if not….what can be done to tighten the loose joints of an old bench?
 
I am not a big fan of squirting something into the joints of a bench and expecting long-lasting results.  With few exceptions it doesn't take much more than an hour or so to totally knock the thing apart and re-glue it properly.  The old benches are worth it  - you literally cannot buy benches like that anymore.  Go for it and do it right the first time...
