This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Terry,=20 Here too you confirm my findings on the CA glue working after other = applications of pin tight Garfields etc. have been used. I just had a thought of why old pianos might have been referred to as = old beaters.=20 The loose bridge pins causing false beats. BTW give me a call Joe Goss imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Farrell=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 7:51 AM Subject: Pinblocks, CA & Dope - an update FYI: I CA-treated the pinblock of an old upright six months ago. Dozens of = pins were so loose that they immediately spun back on their own after = raising the pitch. I tipped the piano back and applied two bottles of = thin CA (after spending 20 minutes trying to talk the lady into dumping = the piano). It was quite apparent that the pins had been doped some = years ago - plate was all stained at the tuning pins and the feel of the = few pins that had any torque was very spongy. The CA treatment seems to = work well a couple days later when I pitch-raised and tuned the piano. I went back there last night to tune. Three pins had let go. I gave = them a tap or two and they then had a very solid feel. All the other = tuning pins had good to great torque and very good feel. This piano had a full plate with no tuning pin bushings. Bottom line: CA worked great on this previously doped block. Your = results may vary. Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
