Hi list,

I have been following the latest thread on bridge pin repair and the use (or
not) of epoxy.
Most of the posts involve many bad pins.
I have a customer with a brand new Kohler & Campbell grand piano. It has one
loose bridge pin at G#6 causing a bad false beat. Everything else looks
good. This will probably be a warranty repair but I am trying to determine
the best fix for the problem. I am reluctant to use epoxy since the piano is
new. The pin is loose on top only. Should I drill and replace with an
oversize pin or ???.
Any ideas would be helpfull.

Thanks,
