Rob.. Lots of guys use this for relative major pin block repair. The best results I
personally have seen are done from filling the holes, banging in the tuning pins you
just removed, and letting it stand a couple days. Then re-remove the pins, brush out
the holes with a brass brush attached to a drill (dont over do it) and yer set.
Wouldnt recommend this on a 9 foot Steinway but..if its a cheap easy fix appropriate
piano thingy.. this works ok.
