[pianotech] Tight tuning pins

[Greg Newell]

I wonder if backing them out will create more heat which would make the
resorcinol gummy. Depending on how long you wait (seconds, minutes, hours)
to put the pins back in and whether or not the pins are already contaminated
with the same resorcinol you might recreate the same problem. Just a
thought.

Subject: [pianotech] Tight tuning pins

 

Regarding the recent discussion about dealing with tight tuning pins when a
piano has been restrung with oversize pins, can anyone speak to the efficacy
of backing out the pins with a drill and then pounding them back in on an
original condition Baldwin grand from the 80's with that stupid
Resorcinol-laden pinblock?  (Same problem, pins very tight and jumpy, lots
of cracking noises.)  I'm thinking this technique is at least worth a try on
one that I have that is a particular problem.
