So Paul is the expert now and all the persons saving some really awful pianos with CA instead of replacing the pinblock are wrong. Strange reasoning and logic here. I presume this implies that you would spend your customers dollars on almost worthless pieces of junk that could only be saved by installing new pinblocks or some other expensive repairs. A piano worth $200.00 and then "improved" to hold a tuning with $800-$1200 worth of rebuilding will still probably be worth $200. That same piano, with$10.00 of CA plus cost of application will probably now hold a tuning-and the customer will still have his/her $200. piano but will not have thrown lots of cash at an expensive repair. I would guess that the number of Technicians using this effective, but not expensive repair, numbers in the hundreds. And we are growing daily. Bob Bergantino, RPT
