Mason and Hamlin A, circa 1909: What to do with loose tuning pins inbass...

[piannaman at aol.com]

 Martin,

Thanks for this tip.? It will be useful in this and other string related repairs in the future.? Loose pins have several possible fixes short and long term.? Keeping the beckets intact is key to making the repair less complicated than it could be.

Terry:

If while you are backing out the tuning pin, someone else is pulling up
on the string at the same time, after getting it out from under the
damper, it prevents a strain in the other direction on the beckett which
usually will keep it from breaking off. It works every time for me.
