Don't take the pins out, just hold it in tune and apply ca.  Hold for =
just a few seconds and re do if necessary.

  Howdy,

  Ed Foote, I believe you wrote about taking pins out and then CAing a =
pinblock to get the block to increase swelling (if I understand that =
correctly).

  I'm in a tight spot here at the Big, Dead Hall.  The B in residence =
(which has been on the don't use list because it is in that kind of =
shape) is going to be used on Saturday.  Gee, if only I had known *last* =
week.  The pins are generally loose, with a few "let go of your tuning =
hammer at watch it fly" types.  Yes, it's a Steinway. Yes, it's in =
miserable shape and I have no qualms about doing whatever I need to do =
to get it hold the tune better than it does now.

  So, I was wondering if I removed those few spinning pins and carefully =
applied the CA, would I get more holding power?  How long should I wait =
before re-inserting the pins?

  Thanks gobs.  Man, what a wild week.
