Dopey to dope?

Julie, the first thing you should do is contact Kawai, provided that the =
piano is still under warranty.  Then, if indeed the pins won't hold a =
tuning, talk to us further before taking action. Do not go ahead and use =
glycerin pin-tighteners without at least checking the archives. This is =
not going to be a one-shot deal, unless the piano can hold a tuning, and =
the customer just had a tuner who couldn't put a good tuning on her =
piano.
Kevin.

  Greetings,=20

              I have a lady I am going to see Monday who has a Kawaii =
grand that she claims will not hold a tuning. I never doped a pinblock =
before. If upon inspection the pins are loose, should I dope. Is this an =
unwise move?=20

               I hear  that doping only lasts for one tuning and then =
the obvious is inevitable, which I hear is a re-pin job. How loose must =
pins be to sanction a re-pinning?

  Thanx,
  Julie=20
