List, We all run into those old uprights now and then which aren't in all that bad a shape and can serve as a starter instrument for someone, if it just weren't for those loose tuning pins. Maybe just the lower bass, or tenor, but enough to render the piano untunable and useless. Useless until you tip the piano over and use CA glue to help restore some torque to the pins. Now you don't have to tip the piano over anymore, just use the Hot Stuff 'Blue'. It has a specially formulated viscosity to travel horizontally along the pins to the pinblock, with virtually no drips. It costs a little more but boy does it save you time and trouble. Ask Ed at the MARC this weekend for the new 'Blue' Hot Stuff. Ken Jankura RPT Fayetteville, PA
