Hi Barbara,
There is NO reason to remove the pins.
If you are doing only a few, take off the fall board and slip some news =
print across the top of the action to keep any glue from seeping through =
onto the action.=20
Use a hypo needle and apply the glue at the base of the pin and let the =
glue well up untill just before it is going to run. Treat other pins and =
return to the first and apply a second dose. Wait 15 seconds and Tune =
<G>=20
If pins are still a little loose, treat a third time.
One other thing , for the neatest job, cover the pins not being treated =
with an old rag so that when the applicator is turned down to apply the =
glue, any spillage will not fall onto the pin area.
The glue will wick into the wood, and unless you know what to look for. =
the repair can not be seen. Futher repair can be made including block =
replacement at a future date. I have pianos that are 10 years past their =
repair and holding.

  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?  I am prepared to used =
my trusty sandpaper shims (I usually prefer those to larger pins).   How =
long should I wait before re-inserting the pins?

  Thanks gobs.  Man, what a wild week.

  Barbara Richmond, RPT
