<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">
<DIV><FONT face="times new roman, new york, times, serif" size=3>I've been
reading lots about the benefits of CA, how much to use, and how to apply
it. As one trained by folks who do not dope the tuning pins--and they
make a good case--I wonder if there is a downside to using CA. It seems
that the majority of responders on the list use it when they think
necessary.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I look forward to 'hearing' some
responses.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2> This is not doping.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> The confusion comes from the old time use
of glycerine based agents that helped a bit then joined the enemy
.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Ca is not for every piano, but a generic
piano that will never support the investment in a proper rebuild is our prime
candidate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> I CAed a Brambach last week and this
piano is now tunable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Downside? Sure, 1 Don't slop
it all over the place</FONT></DIV>

Back to point 1, A few ounces will usually do the trick.</FONT></DIV>
