Doing well, thank you - and yourself? Yes, pins were loose, hence someone thought driving them would correct the problem... one grand, one vertical(as am I, usually). Delaminating in both cases. Several pins were driven through and the strings are against the plate. I've never epoxied pin holes, might this work? If so, what is the procedure. The vertical would not be worth the effort or expense, except the piano is in a room of a burm house. Alterations were made to the house after the piano was brought in. No way now to remove the piano or bring in another, short of restructuring the house. The owner is a musician suffering from "piano that will not hold a tune". Thanks for any suggestiions.
