Ran into a temp quick fix for the classic loose tuning pin syndrom today. Completely non invasive as well. Take a piece of backcheck leather about the length of the tuning pin, cut it circa 2 mm wide, and insert it into the hole so that about 3 mm is sticking out the end of the hole. Bang the pin back in whilst holding the end with a pair of needle nose. Tightens them suckers right up without the dope. Seems to last a long time too. Causes the pins to jump a bit... but hey... thats the least of your problems ! Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
