year old Kimball upright. (Why do I keep working on these
things??) I’m pretty sure it has a crack along the bottom row of tuning
pins and am wondering if a CA treatment would fill in the crack (and pinholes)
enough to hold the pitch. The customer understands that a
restringing/new pinblock is what’s really needed (or a
bonfire).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
