<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Hi all. Customer has a 109 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>
