<DIV>I tune a piano that had the tuning pin holes swabbed with epoxy. The pins are very tight but they jump/snap like crazy making tuning a bit of a head-ache. Seems like a last ditch repair.

It worked but I did not like the feel of the pins. After trying a dozen pins I ended up installing a new block after all. I have also tried Webb Philips wood rebuilder on a few pins. I really liked the pin feeling it produced. I would be willing to experiment with this some more. I am discouraged from using West system for this application..... unless I hear someone report better results then I obtained.
