Although I am not a big fan of CA glue, I think it is hands down the better solution, (Pun intended), for a loose pin situation. However, I would like to qualify that just a bit. If it is not a high reputation piano, then that would be my choice. If it were a "high reputation" piano, I'd get them to have it rebuilt. If that was not a prospect, then I might offer them another piano in good condition, on the prospect of rebuilding the "high reputation" piano for myself or later resale. Although I am not in the buying and selling part of the business, I feel it is my duty to give those "high reputation" pianos every chance to be redeemed to their former beauty. Just my meager philosophy. <G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
