<BR><BR>What do you think of slacking off a warbler treble string, pulling=
out
the pin if it's willing to come, and putting the CA into the hole -- versu=
s
just putting a drop at the bass of the pin without changing the wire? Any
benefits to getting more CA into the bridge? Worth the time and tuning
stability expended?<BR><BR>I did this once on a few notes of (an unnamed b=
ut
fairly new) grand with tuning stability issues, and found that when I put =
CA
glue down one hole and put the bridge pin back in, CA spurted out of a
neighboring hole. Obviously, there can be cracks down there ... <BR><BR>Su=
