Terry,

Yeah, sounds terrible.  F#5, the third string is horrifically zingy - I can
push the pin around with my thumb.  I suppose I could cut their losses, tie
a single hitch pin loop on the second string, leaving two strings on the
bridge for that note?!?!?  Worth considering, I guess.

David,

Epoxy......how?  As I suggested, epoxying in a replacement?  Or other?

Thanks for the suggestions.
