Use the thinnest CA glue,  It doesnt really glue, rather it strengthens =
the wood around the tuning pins.  Get a small botle or two from a hobby =
store, along with the smallest applicator tip extension.  Tilt the piano =
on its back with a tilter or with several strong friends.  Wick the CA =
into the holes around the tuning pins one at a time.  Have plenty of =
ventilation.  Two treatments may be necessary.  Wait a day or so after =
the first treatrment to try the pins.

Check the archives for much more discussion on this topic.  search for =
CA.

  Subject: loose tuning pins


  I am still new at tuning and repairing pianos.  I have Fischer upright =
that was given to me.  I am attempting to get it  back into some sort of =
playable condition and gain experience at the same time.  All the tuning =
pins are loose and will not hold a tune.  What is the best way to solve =
this problem short of replacing the pin block?

  Thanks=20
  David
