The piano is a 1990 W48 Weber Upright that is located in the choir room of the church building.  The tuning pins of the bass section are tight.  The pins in the tenor section are loose to the point that a few are not holding tune like they should.  Most of the bottom pins of the treble section are on the verge of being too loose.

There is a climate control system in the piano that has not been in use for who knows how long.

Three recommendations have been made by other technicians as to how to best address this problem:
A.  Replace loose tuning pins with one size larger pins
B.  Drive pins farther into pinblock
C.  Treat with CA glue

What is your recommendation?

Thanks,
