What has been your experience with longevity. The few I have done have =
held up well for several years now. But for sure, it is a band-aid =
repair - I make that very clear. Why would it haunt? I figure the worst =
that will happen is that the pins come loose again - nothing lost there.

  CA glue can be effective, but it is also VERY temporary.  You may be =
haunted by this several years down the road.

    Whether she is selling the piano or not is not your concern, IMHO. I

that it
    is usually about 80% effective - sometimes, for whatever reason, it =
doesn't
    seem to do much at all - but usually provides a workable low-cost =
solution
    where low cost is a high priority.

    However, be aware of the tendency for someone to sell a piano and =
tell the
    potential purchaser (after a CA pinblock job - or maybe some new =
damper
    felt), "oh yes, and a wonderful piano technician, Terry Neely, =
completely
    restored all those little things in there - the piano is almost like =
new"!

    FWIW - You shouldn't have to, but I would consider walking away from =
a job
    like this - knowing that the piano will be sold. Assuming she is not
    replacing the piano, it would be a one-appointment client anyway.

A
    new client just moved to the area, and her previous tech told her =
that her
    5' grand needed CA treatment for loose pins before it would hold a =
tuning.
    My question is this: Is the CA treatment effective in pianos with =
tuning pin
    bushings? Or is one just glueing the pin to the bushing, or does it =
matter?
    > She is planning to sell the piano after tuning, and I know that
    myself or one of our other local guild members will probably be =
called to
    tune for the new owners. I told her that the real fi! x is a new =
block, but
    since she is selling, she obviously is not interested in that =
expense.
