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.
