  Hi Julia,
  When I used to shim a pin, with sand paper, I used to make a tube of =
the sandpaper, and slip it in the hole, grit side to the wood.
  This is the first time I have heard of grit side to the pin.
  If I do it now,because, I don't have an oversize pin, I will =
frequently use a bit of veneer.
  One thing NOT to do is use these metal tuning pin bushings, that are =
sold by the supply houses. I still have them left from 1975, when I =
didn't know better, and bought some.

    Greetings,=20

               Up in piano tuning school, we were advised to lay the =
piano on it's back via a piano tilter and use CA glue, or the old =
formula of violin rosin mixed with alcohol as a tightening agent for =
loose pins.

               Also, if the situation is bad enough, a piece of 150 grit =
sandpaper could be cut in about a 3/8" wide strip, the length of which =
would be twice the circumference of the pin, folded in half width wise =
and wrapped around the pin and put back in the hole. The folding in half =
width wise, allows you would wrap the grit towards the outside of the =
pin and there will be grit surface towards the inside of the pin, so =
that the grip occurs between the pin and the block's hole and the pin =
and the inside of the sandpaper.=20
               I never had to try it yet as I have only been tuning for =
a little over a year. It worked at school and I would try it if I had =
the need.
    Hope this helps.
