If the wood is still there, both front and back, but just split, you can drop some CA glue in the hole, put the screw in, and hold the sides together with your fingers while it sets. Anything beyond that might need to be rebuilt, with either wood builder, or more extensive wood working. </font></div> <div><font size="3"></font> </div> <div><font size="3">Wim </font></div> <div></div> <div style="clear: both;"> <div> </div> </div> <div></div> <div></div> <div style="color: black; font-family: arial,helvetica; font-size: 10pt;">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Jurgen Goering <pianoforte@pianofortesupply.com><br> To: pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Thu, Sep 6, 2012 8:07 pm<br> Subject: [pianotech] Repair to console music desk<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_5b90ae6c-59ce-4092-a265-b146dfecc843"> What is the "best" fix for a music desk on a console or studio upright which has been damaged at the screw pivot point?  Its funny how one good smack on the music desk, or a mere cinching up of ratchet strap in the course of a move can break the wood at the screw [tongue in cheek here]. <div>So what is the most economical and fast in-home repair (while I tune)?  Five minute epoxy? Tightbond with a small clamp?  </div> <div>I was thinking of calling Isaac Sadigursky but I'll try this list first...  see if anyone else knows....  :^)</div> <div>regards,<br> <div> <span style="font:/normal Verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="Apple-style-span">Jurgen Goering<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </span> </div> <br> </div> </div>  </div> </font>
