[pianotech] treating bridges with CA

[pmc033 at earthlink.net]

Why do we not use threaded bridge pins?  That would insure that they
wouldn't get loose, or get pushed out by the swelling of the bridge root. 
There could be a hexagonal end which would allow it to be driven in with a
tool with a similar size mini socket.  Or, chuck it in a drill to turn it
in.  
Or is it more like, why fix it if it works as is.
