<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Use the thinnest CA glue, It =
doesnt really
glue, rather it strengthens the wood around the tuning pins. Get a =
small
botle or two from a hobby store, along with the smallest applicator tip
extension. Tilt the piano on its back with a tilter or with =
several strong
friends. Wick the CA into the holes around the tuning pins one at =
a
time. Have plenty of ventilation. Two treatments may be
necessary. Wait a day or so after the first treatrment to =
try the
pins.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am still new at tuning and =
repairing
pianos. I have Fischer upright that was given to me. I am
attempting to get it back into some sort of playable condition =
and gain
experience at the same time. All the tuning pins are loose and =
will not
hold a tune. What is the best way to solve this problem short of =
replacing the pin block?</FONT></DIV>
