Loose Tuning Pins
By Marc Goodman

Hello -- I have a 1916 Mason-Hamlin AA grand that seems to have been
rebuilt sometime in the past.  I doped the block with a thin super
glue and they are tight now.

However, the tenor section (2nd last to the top) always goes out before
the rest.  My excellent tuner (and others) said as they are tight and
not to pound them down.  Any ideas?

Best,
Marc Goodman
