Loose Tuning Pins
By Bryan Smith

I remember hearing a piano tuner say years ago that on really loose
tuning pins, his father would pull out the pin, squirt in boiled
linseed oil and put the pin back in.  I presume that this would swell
the wood around the pin.  Anyone ever hear of this trick and does it
work?
