If you pull the pins and swab the hole with either super glue or epoxy, it will add enough "stuff" in the hole to increase torque signficiantly..... les bartlett _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Matthew Todd Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 12:42 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Kimball Spinet Issue I tuned a Kimball Spinet this morning (s/n A12066). The overall tuning pin torque was between 30-50 inch lbs. That is for a very marginal tuning at best. However, the left pin of C-40 and the right/left pin of C#-41 was less than 30 inch lbs. I mean literally the pins would take off without applying but a fraction of pressure on the hammer. What would be the best fix for those three pins? I know, the entire piano could use something, but with those three pins in particular what would be a good solution? I was able to stable the tuning throughout the piano with what I had to work with, but with those pins it'll be impossible to hold it without some fix. Thank you Matthew _____ Never miss a thing.
