[pianotech] hot glue gun?

[Elwood Doss]

We purchased a "Cello Chair" from Wenger for our son when he was
studying violoncello.  When he graduated from college and stopped
playing, I took it back and take it to every tuning appointment.  It's
comfortable, tall, has a short seat and a straight back and is padded.
Gives me a chance to rest my back occasionally.  It also saves repairs
on benches such as you experienced.  Since I'm horizontally challenged
it has saved me more than one repair.

Merry Christmas!

I was tuning a piano once, sitting on the bench. I gave a sideways
movement, and the whole bench collapsed, spilling me on the floor.

I felt bad, until I checked it out. The woman told me her Brother-in law
had fixed it with a hot glue gun.

Luckily with being an ex sailor, I know how to fall, so didn't hurt
myself.

It must have looked really funny.

	Lance,

	 

	I once had to take an upright action in to the shop to glue all
the jack flanges that someone had tried to glue in place, in the piano,
with a hot glue gun.  No fun.

		Just curious to know if anyone has ever used a hot glue
gun( the kind with the little glue sticks ) for any application in piano
repair.
