loose bridge pins/false beats

[Farrell]

"....apply CA to a loose bridge.....I have used this approach on old clunker
upgrights."

Yes, I have no doubt CA can help....for some indeterminable
time.....maybe.....probably. And this might be a fine approach for the old
clunker. Would you consider this to be an appropriate solution if it were
your $20,000 piano that was still under warranty? This to me is not all that
much different than a loose wheel stud on a 9-month old car - except maybe
you won't die from the loose bridge pin....maybe.

P.S. my tone here is to practice for an anticipated upcoming conversation
with dealer/manufacturer!
