What kind of epoxy? David Love www.davidlovepianos.com > I think I will chime in here with a tip on bass bridge repair. I had > one of these repairs fail with just epoxy. I reasoned that epoxy is > really "plastic" as in having plasticity. Under constant tension from > the string, the plastic slowly deforms and allows the pin to creep > over again. My solution was to put a filler behind the pin that has > tipped over. i considered toothpicks but thought it might crush > eventually. I chose steel. It has to be tapered to fill the gap > correctly as the pin is actually flagpoling over. I cut the head off > of large carpet tacks and push them in behind the pin burying them in > the bridge. Sometimes I use two. then you can use any kind of glue you > want or none at all and the repair is solid. > > Douglas Gregg > Classic Piano Doc > Southold, NY 11971
