Slipping Piano Tuning Pins

- Owner/Piano Technician Michel Stilwell walks us through what "doping the pin block" means. When piano tuning pins are loose, we typically replace them with a larger size or replace the pin block. The tech that worked on this piano before we go it chose to drop CA or supper glue into the block. And it works! For now...

Hi, thank you so makeing this interesting video, could you please recommend a particular type of CA glue? Is it any CA glue will does the job? Many thanks
Though food for thought ... it took a lot to built this instrument from nature, might be worth finding a client willing to pay for a restoration instead of throwing it away ....
An old Bluthner, Bechstein Knabe or Steinway is always a good investment to subject to a professional rebuilding. Pianos from the Asian factories, generally, not.
Excellent ! Thanks for the info. I have a 1913 Bluthner that arrived at my house and the pin block seems to take age as there was just one F that needed more tuning work than the rest of the notes. It was never restrung. The tuner/piano tech said me that I had to restring the whole piano and put bigger pins. That the pin block was probably still OK but that I needed to to the work before the original pin block was too much damaged. Do you think an old Bluthner like that would be worth the investment ? I like the sound of the piano and it is playable as it is... not at a pro level but for a guitarist like me... it is OK. LOL !
Hello Martin, thank you for your question. Please email michael@stilwellpianos.com with the info you have provided, and he will certainly answer your query as soon as possible. Have a great day!
I hope you will save your piano. No set of strings will last that long in a piano. Your strings are dead. They have survived over 100 years of being stretched by tuning and oxidation. New strings would vibrate more freely. You would be amazed at how your instrument would sound with a restringing and bigger pins to take care of your slipping pin issue, assuming your Blüthner is in otherwise good shape.
How to replace a tuner pin?
What are the signs of a 'doped' pin block?
Thank you for asking! Well, we had a lot of ongoing discussion about this matter. We strongly advise you to email Michael Stilwell - CEO & Certified piano technician for any related matters at michael@stilwellpianos.com
Would repinning be a good option?
Hello, thanks for your question, we provided some solutions in the video, as our main target from this video is to provide an example case, and provide our audiance with some tips, raising their awareness, when it comes to inspecting a piano before shopping.
For most people 8 to 8 years is an eternity nobody cares whether the piano is going to be in tunable 10 years from now or not.
MAY I BUY IT FOR $500 ?
Thank you Julia, please contact us at: 1.480.207.6645 and our sales team shall answer any queries you have. it might be also a good choice to check our online store: stilwellpianos.com/ as you might find other suitable options for you. We have some pianos that are under $1000.
Put some oversized pins in it and new strings. Seems too nice to trash it.
Please do not throw these away. I like to collect such things. First contact me if you wish to dispose of a piano.
The agitators are over at PianoWorld starting flame wars about CA being the only way to deal with tuning pins. They're using your video and trying to impugn your business reputation because you expressed an opinion on their topic. They think CA is the only way to work with a tuning pin, and your opinion challenges their authority on the topic.
Thank you Max!
