[pianotech] help please

Les,

I also posted on this earlier this year. I've only done it once, on a 
grand, but if I had a vertical candidate, I would tip it and use the 
identical procedure. The photo shows my dremel tool with a 1/16 drill 
bit. I managed to do the entire piano with the one bit. Joe is 
absolutely correct about feeling the bit enter the gap between the 
bottom of the bushing and pinblock. Getting the CA to the bottom of the 
hole was accomplished by running it down a piece of piano wire. Stick 
the wire in the hole, hold the bottle nozzle against the wire and give 
it a little squeeze, and there it is.

good luck

Mike
