Instead of the sliver of paper towel, you could use Zap Flexi-Tips (or similar brand). They are very fine nozzles that will fit on your bottle of CA glue, and you can direct the flow and coat the sides of the hole. Need to be careful with paper materials as CyanoAcrylate has an affinity for cellulose and will produce an exothermic reaction (forming cellulose cyanoacrylate). I have seen a paper tissue (90-odd percent cellulose) smoke when it got CA on it. Also, with the flexi-tips, it may (depending on plate bushings etc) be possible to apply the CA glue with the pin still in place, and it will wick in around the pin by capillary action.

String lifter is a great tool for lining those coils up

Amen, I didn’t have a good coil liter at that time, but do now! :). Thanks for your advice, David.

If you apply glue, will there be any tuning problems later when the glue dries?

@TheGildedPiano 2 жыл бұрын

With CA glue it WILL dry and solidify, that’s the purpose. So no it doesn’t introduce any negative effects. It sometimes doesn’t work but you’ll know right away during that appointment and you can proceed to hammer in the tuning pin a bit further or replace it with one size up. Good question.

@@TheGildedPiano I worded the question wrong - English is not my main language. In this question I meant sticking strong tuning pin into pinblock, but I guess this glue doesn't have that power? ;-D The larger pin - unfortunately this is not an easy commodity to buy here when I live. I haven't found it in Poland or the Czech Republic, and all other results are from China. Thanks for showing this method, I will try it at my place if it works ;)

As others responded, CA almost makes a new material out of wood, I have found. The wood almost is like a composite with resin injected into it. Those pin threads will cut right into it, won't adhere to it - nor will the CA glue adhere to the cast iron plate. Quite ingenious, wonder what the old world builders and tuners would think about this magical substance.

Is really AC glue what you apply? Couldn’t be something better? I have seen that violinist or string players apply something to hold the tuning better.

Cyanoacrylite, or CA glue, is the method I personally prefer, although there certainly are other ways to approach the repair. I have found through much experience that this repair, in terms of cost/benefit, works best. You may be thinking of hot hide glue perhaps? Do you have a method you prefer? Love to hear and thanks for the comment.

Great idea of using the piece of paper to wick the glue, I actually lied this full size upright with an entire player mechanism (roll not digital!) down on my finger once, not fun!

You’re hilarious, Jorge! I’m proud of you for trying to fix it the best you knew how.

Nononono!!! CA glues reacts with wood. Do it only if you change the pinblock 2 years later. Use a hard paper only wrapped around the tuning pin instead of putting CA glue.

Why is reacting with the wood bad?

@BohumirStehlik 7 ай бұрын

@@Thoracius It reacts. Dot. I did this mistake too. I CA glued whole pinblock and when I wanted to change the pins for bigger size, it was not possible to drill it properly. It was like a rubber.

@altodomino7859 Ай бұрын

That's not pertinent to an upright like this because no one is going to be redrilling or replacing the pinblock
