<div>I am considering CAing an upright piano, I have never tried this method before, always repinned. </div>

<div>1. Is this a permanent fix for loose pins</div></blockquote><div><br></div>Pretty much unless the pinblock is badly cracked.</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite">
<div>2. What is the best method for a thorough job</div></blockquote><div><br></div>Tilt the piano on it's back and use a syringe for the best and cleanest results. I like to go through twice. </div><div><br><blockquote type="cite">
<div>3. How much time should I allocate</div></blockquote><div><br></div>It doesn't take much more than an hour to do, but there's the prep. If you're going to do this in the house, you've got to bring all your equipment, tilter, exhaust fan, etc. and you will need adequate ventilation. So be sure to add the appropriate prep and take down time. Then consider what it would have cost the customer to replace the tuning pins and possible the strings. You need to consider the value added in your pricing.</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite">
