Questions about worn pinblock

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Ron,
CA  glue is the  cheapest and good way to go. Yes the piano will be able to
be tuned after the use of CA glue. Pianos that I have done are still
holding well after three years.
>From your post the only other option would be to re string at a difference
of cost of 10 to one.

Always on the level and now well traveled.
