CA tuning pins

[Jim Johnson]

I'm not sure about the CA part of the story, but we did have a Lockheed 
engineer years ago who poured liquid epoxy all around the tuning pins and 
strings of his grand piano after he had it carefully tuned.  He figured he'd 
never have to pay for a tuning again.  What was really scary was that he was 
working on the Poseidon submarine missile project at the time.  Needless to 
say, he called within a couple weeks to complain that the tuning wasn't 
holding.
