  Fenton,

  I have restrung a piano that was treated with CA glue and didn't see any ill effects. What I did and also do with any piano I restring, was to ream the TP holes with the proper size reamer for the new TP I am going to use. I do this to clean the hole and for uniform tightness with the new tuning pins.

    List,
    The patient is an early 80's grey market Yamaha C7 doing duty in a recording studio. An other wise decent piano, the tuning pins have been driven down and are still low in torque. This is a piano that might benefit from a restringing with larger pins latter, but now I'd like to hear from someone who has restrung a piano with a block previously treated with CA. I'm thinking of treating this block, but would like to not kill the option of a latter simple re-string on a relatively young piano.
    Thank you,
    Fenton
