<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Annie,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do not remove strings. However on an old upright,
I will always have the instrument standing. or at least at a 45% on a tipper. I
apply the glue at the side of the bridge pin that is next to the speaking length
and do not worry if the glue goes to the lower pin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With grands I use my insulin needle to inject
as little glue as possible to do the job.</FONT> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>I only treat the speaking length pin</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>as the looseness of the other does not seem to
affect the false beating.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If this treatment does not eliminate the false
beats, suspect other things such as kinks in wire, notching, unbraided ends,
voodoo`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I reccommend seating the strings first with #315 as
it may eliminate the need for CA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also the faster the beat the less likely it is
loose pins. The test with a long screw driver is always a good check to do
first.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>Ah, I was confused when I asked my question about loosening strings, as
I was still thinking about bridges, not pinblocks (the previous iteration of
this discussion, I believe). My question actually was meant to relate to
the use of CA glue to reset bridge pins. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=875473613-07042007><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff
size=2>For those who use it: do you loosen or remove the strings before
gluing a bridge?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

far!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
