Samick (again)

List,

   For all you Samick experts out there, I have a question. I have to go
tune a Samick grand tomorrow and also decide what to do about tight pinning
problems.
   In February of 1997, I repinned 6 hammer flanges. Now, from her
description, it sounds like more of the same, except some of it may also be
jack pinning.
   Short of doing a complete repinning job, would the alcohol/water
shrinking solution or Protek be a viable alternative? I'd like to correct
the problem more or less permanently since this seems as though it's going
to keep recurring. Has that been your experience? I don't know the exact
age, but I believe it's a relatively new instrument.
   Thanks for any words of wisdom.

Avery
