Hi Kerry, For those few pins that don't work with your Garfields--try using some CA glue. I believe you will be very pleased with the results. It seems that using CA glue on previously doped pianos works better than on undoped pianos. It would be most gratifying if someone would try Garfieds on one octave of pins, CA glue on another octave, and both on a third octave and report back to the list.
