<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Michael, If you use CA to make the =
bushings a
little firmer,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>use older glue that has thickened a =
little ot the
medium thick.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The thin will wick in too far so if you =
have tight
pins they will be really tight.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Only try it in a few at first so as to =
get a feel
for what the outcome will be with the glue you are using</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello List</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From SunnySussex where we have a =
problem with one
of our pianos at Glyndebourne. Doesn't stay in tune. This is not one I =
tune
for there are two of us and this is a rehearsal stage piano. My =
colleague
asked me to have a go at it while he stood by. It seems it was tuned =
just
yesterday and already the top two breaks were in trouble and the =
effect was
creeping down into the middle break - unisons weren't unison. =
Yuk! So I
inspected it and found there is quite a lot of Joe G's "flag-poling" =
going on.
Of course you recognise the model (it also has MII stencilled on the =
web
beside the CA-40). My gut feeling is there is too much "give" in those =
wrest-pin bushings. I was just wondering whether a good old dose of CA =
might
not be in order...it might just harden those bushings...What do =
<EM>you</EM>
think?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Over to you!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From a sunny Sussex evening in the =
Downland
Village. The Elm trees at the bottom of my garden have Dutch Elm =
Disease and
tomorrow they're all being cut down. The condition is shewn by a black =
ring
between the bark and the wood - a knife cut will reveal the
problem.</FONT></DIV>
