I have an old Steinway O that has been rebuilt about 15 years ago. The capstans are loose on the old keys. All of them turn by hand and a few work down just from playing the piano. It only takes a couple of days of playing. This is a piano that is at a small college that I take care of. Its in a practice room. Is there any way to tighten these quickly? I wondered about CA glue? Epoxy? Would it be better to plug and drill new holes? This is a piano that I don't want to spend any more time on then I have to. This school has only rebuilt Steinways. I keep trying to talk them into buying a new one now and then but the teacher only like old ones. Do those of you who do a lot of rebuilding replace the keyboards too? Or is this something that is only done when needed? I wish most of these pianos at the school would have had new keyboards.
