Doping pins.

[Mike and Jane Spalding]

Kevin,

I've done several in-home grand dopings (1930's Howard/Hamilton/Charlton etc.) with CA from the top, and have been very satisfied with the result.  About an hour and a half to two hours, and 4 oz. of CA, typical.  Got a similar piano in the shop that I intend to flip and dope from the bottom.  I would be very interested in hearing about your experience.

thanks

Mike
