pin tightner

[Don]

Hi Les,

Try CA glue instead of tuning pin tightner. I have used as much as 10
ounces on a single piano. On a grand apply with several layers of newspaper
or other protection. After application cover all the action except for
hammers with newspaper--slide action into cavity and start tuning. By the
time you are done tuning any dripping should be finished, but if you wish
to be cautious you could leave the newspaper in for a couple of days and
come back.
