It is hard to say exactly what to do in your scenario. As technicians, we really have to be there to make the right choice for a particular piano. One can't properly diagnose and repair a car by reading an email description of the problem--he has to be there, see it, feel it, smell it, hear it, etc. It's the same way with a piano. However, if you do the CA method, you should not have to drive the pins in further unless the pinblock is really far gone. As for documentation, check the archives at http://www.ptg.org. Go to the Piano Page link, then to Mailing List/Newsgroups. From there, you can search the archives from the Pianotech list. You could also order some piano servicing books like Arthur Reblitz's _Piano Servicing, Tuning, & Rebuilding._ There are several available in the catalogs from the piano supply houses.

Each of you have different opinions. How about if I tap the pins, then apply the CA glue? I am getting confused with all the responses. Is there some documentation I can go to, to see which method works the best?
