Hi Fred In really late on this one.. but had a thought... perhaps a dumb one but I'll throw it out there anyways... how about a couple drops of Protek Lubricator ? I cant imagine this would hurt the wood any... and might just loosen things up just a bit... Shoot this down immediatly if its a bad idea folks :) Cheers RicB Thanks, all, for some great advice! I'm just doing a total of 8 unisons on a practice room Mason BB. They've been bugging me for years, so I thought I'd just spend a couple spare hours (juries being over) and tackle them. I thought I'd get away with just dressing the capo and changing those strings, but the four unisons I started with still had some zings, so I'm moving on to bridge pins. Tapping isn't working (they are bottoming out and barely move). It's a quickie, stop gap, not my usual full treatment re-surface/re-pin/etc. The piano is actually pretty nice as is for a few more years, other than this small section.
