[pianotech] CA Glue

[Paul T Williams]

I use PVC-E glue for that also (keytops) Thanks, Joe!  I only use CA when 
I think it will last longer than the piano will.  I've tried it on some 
tuning pins however with some nice results, some no results, some too 
much;  but wonder what happens later when restringing and installing new 
pins.  That happens more than once on university pianos..


My 1.75 cents.

Al,
The occasional loose tuning pin is the way to go. HOWEVER< please stop
using it for Ivories!/??! PLEASE! If you have ever had to replace the key
tops, (which is an inevitable), you would not do that! It causes way more
problems than it solves. Use PVC-E, please. Yes, it takes longer to set 
up,
but it is a REVERSABLE repair. We should always try for reversible, if
possible. Don't ya think?
Regards,
Joe

p.s.
Yes, reversable is spelled two different ways and my stupid spell check
allows it! What's that all about?<G>
