F. Kain & Sohn piano

[Michelle Smith]

Hi Ed.  I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know the action type.  I'll be
able to tell you soon because she says one of the notes is tripping out.  

I have another question about this piano.  Some of the pins are really loose
and probably will not hold a pitch for long.  I'm hoping that one of these
days she will decide to rebuild the inside of this piano but in the
meantime, would a CA treatment be a possible idea to hold the tuning?  Would
a new pin block be a given on this age of piano if a rebuild were done?

What kind of action does it have?  Late Viennese actions can often be much
improved by sending the hammers to Abel for recovering.  It is not extremely
expensive.
