New tuning pins would take lots more time thus cost lots more...about $400 or so. CA glue is used on clunkers, pianos that are in bad shape. Most techs here would not use this method on the decent piano. I have some pianos I fixed with CA that are going strong after 4 or 5 years. Both are over 50 yrs old!! The tuning pins move nicely and are tight. They are not quality pianos and may not be worth the $150 repair, but it kept the painos going. I can't believe that the owners would sink $400 into these crates, knowing their financial situations at the time. -- Frank Cahill Associate Member, Piano Technicians Guild Northern Va
