Clinet lives on a lake in Northern Wi. 70/o F. 28% R.H.3/26/99 6-8 years since last tuning. Piano 8-10 yrs.old? Anyone know what kind of glue they used? Chips off real easy on the hammer shank with a knief (sp). Tightened all action screws, everything keeps falling apart. Use CA glue on everything??? Sugestions? >> I use CA glue in an emergency, or for one or two glue problems. In this case I would take the action out of the piano, and reglue everything with either hide glue, if you have that, or wood glue. I wouldn't worry about what they used at the factory, What ever it was, it isn't working. Willem
