<html> Can the pin be driven slightly deeper in to the block? If the pins are slightly loose, does the tuning hold reasonably? If so there is no need to change just to get a tighter feeling pin. A drop of CA might solve the problem on the worst offenders. What size pins came out and what size pins were you putting back in?

Is it still OK to install a pin a size larger if the pin is just borderline? I don't have a pin torque wrench, so I don't know exactly how loose that first pin was, but only a few are way too loose to hold AT ALL, but I was going to replace even the borderline ones. Is that advisable?
