Aah well and Ok. So have I made a controv-ersy by this ( or is it contro-versy?). To reply to those on the list and those who e-mailled me personanly let me say thank you and that: 1. The customers piano was is such a condition that it was 6 of one, half a dozen of the other of what to do. Either I did what I did or I would have just left the string muted as it wasn't going to stay on pitch. 2. Perhaps I should carry a few wrest pins with me (but my elephant refuses to carry any more weight) LOL. 3. I could have shimmed it with veerner, but didn't (none with me). 4. I had no means or ways to drop the piano on its back and apply glue into the hole. 5. I thought that squirting the glue into the hole in its upright position but then I didn't think it with give anyway near an even application. As it is superglue in little tubes is all I've ever seen in the hardware stores I been to. 6. As mentioned, I hadn't paid attention to what had been said earlier about the subject and I had no internet connection with me to do so. 7. I did what I did and got the product - a tight pin.
