Hi Mike My point was/is if the pins are drivable that should/is the first option. I feel, strictly MY opinion, that there are those who are too quick with the CA when other options are possible/probable. I can agree with you here without problem I return to my teacher in class telling us to leave the piano in such condition that the next tech will be able to repair your repairs without undue effort. CA in many cases makes that impossible. Examples ? I am sure there are, but I dont think that use of CA in pinblocks or bridgepin holes causes any future repair problems. If the block is so shot as to not respond at all to CA its probably not worth any kind of repair short of replacment. That said... your teacher makes a very good point in general about being aware of the future service consequences of any repair work you do. Its a good thing to think over this kind of thing Cheers RicB See Paul Bruesch's post, he get's it! Mike
