<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Yes Paul, I had the same experience with an old upright I
treated with CA. It will ease up a little as you tune it. 3 years later, that

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial>> List,<BR>>
<BR>> Last March I had need to CA a pinblock in a grand that, because of the
very low humidity here in the Ohio Valley, had TP torque deep into the
marshmallow zone and worse.<BR>> <BR>> In November I tuned the same piano
again and was happy to find the thing very tunable. Nice firm pins with no
cracking and popping to speak of.<BR>> <BR>> Last Friday I was back again
to tune for a recital and found to my dismay pins that were so tight that I
honesty expected to twist tuning pins in half!!<BR>> <BR>> In February
this is the last thing I would have expected. It's a big piano and has a double
DC system installed but I found dust bunnies in the reservoirs. Yeah, I have
given the "lecture".<BR>> <BR>> Is it reasonable to think that the CA glue
has taken a REALLY long time to completely cure?<BR>> <BR>> Anyone with
similar experiences?<BR>> <BR>> Paul E. Dempsey, RPT<BR>> Piano
