----- Best Way To Fix Loose Pins?


One can do pretty much the same thing with the small tips that Dryburgh sells. (Also available at Hobby Lobby.) ?Just keep a Q-tip handy to clean up any spills. If you are careful, you won't spill much anyway.?

John, William, Dean, I agree.

I have done about 8 pianos with 100% success. I would like to add one new trick I've done on my last two pianos. Use a 3 ml hypodermic syringe with a size 21 or 23?needle. Advantages, you can get?the exact?amount?on each pin and the needle will get the glue right?at the base of the tuning pin with no spillage or mess. Absolutely no tell tale signs that it has been used, except if the piano has tuning pin bushings.
