This is an in the field repair to buy time until the piano can be rebuilt or replaced. I would not expect to be maintaining a piano in this condition for this long. Nor would I expect or DESIRE to be tuning a doped piano for three years either. I have never used pin dope myself and obviously I don't carry it with me in the car. Also, I have never liked the results I have seen (or felt) in pianos that were doped. I do carry CA glue and find that in the right situations It can get me through a tuning and last six months or even over a year until a lasting solution can be budgeted. Robert S.
