Isaac said: "thin CA works as a very good lubricant on those pins that does not hold well (then they don't hold at all) My experience, before a repair with plugs, did not take time to saturate well the wood but the pins where absolutely untunable after that. Isaac Isaac, IMO, you must have either used something else...OR you used BAD CA glue, (past it's shelf life)....OR you didn't wait long enough for it to set......OR, as my German friend would say: "Something's Germiss Here!" Just my take on it. Several months ago, I posted my success on a German Upright, that some yahoo had restrung with 5/0 pins and they were still loose. Two dousings with water thin CA and the piano acts like it has a new pinblock. Still working just fine to date.<G> I will be keeping an eye on it.
