Anyway, I unscrewed the loose pins and inserted a sandpaper shim, 80 grit, face outward, drove the pins back in about half way or so, and this worked great on all but two of the pins.  On these two, the pins do not seem to thread themselves any deeper into the hole.  I turned and turned and they just twirl in place.  I hammered them in farther and they do hold the string tension (so far, anyway) but they are higher than their neighbors and look strange.   What's the deal with these two?  There are a couple more to do, and I'm paranoid that they won't thread their way back in either.   Any thoughts or advice?

What is holding up the pins is the glue you put in before. It has created a barrier. At this point, considering that the piano needs a new pin block, for which the customer probably doesn't want to pay, leaving the pins above the rest is fine. It looks bad, but as long as those string hold, that is all that is important. Wim </HTML>
