List,
It's too late now to get info I "might" need today
but I thought I'd go ahead and ask for future reference.
We have a concerto competition going on today with
the last half of it being 14 pianists (!) playing.
My question is if a hammer shank should break (or
some other wood part), what would be the fastest setting
glue to use to get them back into operation? I can have
a spare shank/flange and tools I'd need ready to go. Bear
in mind this would be a quick situation, so there wouldn't
be time to heat up my glue pot. Although, I guess I "could"
have it already on and ready, just in case. :-)
Would Titebond set up fast enough? A combination of that
& CA glue? Any other suggestions?
One other question. There has recently been a discussion
on attending concerts we tune for. I'm sure a lot of you
also have concerto competitions so I'm curious what your
policy is about being available in case of emergencies for
something like that.
This one started at 9 AM with wind & percussionists and
the pianists start at 12:30 and go to 6 PM. Needless to say,
I don't want to hang around all day "just in case", so I've
given the orchestra director & the head of the piano
department my cell phone number in case anything happens.
Any other comments about something like this? Just curious.
Thanks.
Avery
