I know a technician who has with disasterous results. I use "Pin Tite" myself to chemically treat pinblocks, and I must say it does wonders. It's about $25-30 a bottle of 8oz and lasts for a few pianos. I have crossed a Wurlitzer recently the owner told me that a technician used CA on it a bit while ago, after trying to set the temperament I fully refused to tune the piano, pins were jumping and every blow i gave a key, pin slipped...<BR>  <BR>  <BR> Alicia<BR> <BR><BR> <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> To: pianotech@ptg.org<BR>From: jb@bubblemusic.com<BR>Subject: CA Glue for pin blocks<BR>Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2008 17:04:16 -0700<BR><BR>I'm new to this list and I'm not sure if I sent this before I was actually signed up.  So I hope I'm not repeating myself.  Has anybody had any experience using CA glue on pin blocks and subsequently restringing?  How do the pins feel after a treatment?  Do they jump? How long does it last? And if they do start losing their hold after a few years, or if the job turns out to be one of the 10% that doesn't work, can one still go back to simply restringing? <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Thanks</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Jonathan Best</DIV> <DIV>Prescott, AZ<BR><BR> <DIV><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate"><SPAN class=EC_Apple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate"> <DIV> <DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word"> <DIV>Jonathan Best</DIV> <DIV><A href="mailto:jb@bubblemusic.com">jb@bubblemusic.com</A></DIV> <DIV>928-830-4887</DIV> <DIV>www.bubblemusic.com</DIV></DIV></DIV> <DIV><BR class=EC_webkit-block-placeholder></DIV></SPAN><BR class=EC_Apple-interchange-newline></SPAN><BR class=EC_Apple-interchange-newline></DIV><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><br /><hr />Get 5GB of online storage for free! <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000005ukm/direct/01/' target='_new'>Get it Now! </a></body> </html>
