Hi Jim, Maybe Boston or Steinway or whoever wouldn't pay for the bridge recapping for "false beats". But would they for "loose bridge pins"? I wouldn't think even Steinway would have the ball bearings to say loose bridge pins are a 'design feature'. <grin> Hey, I'm just asking? :-) Could some of it be in the 'presentation'? <wish I could convey the bit of sarcasm with the printed word...> Seriously, just driving in the pins seems like it might be a temporary fix at best. You're not really making the hole any smaller or the pin any bigger by driving it farther in. Now, the CA or epoxy would make a difference that way. FWIW... (written in somewhat playful spirit... hope it's received that way too...) Brian Trout Quarryville, PA btrout@desupernet.net
