Tuning pins (piano) - Tightening. Part #11.Corrugated paperboard. "Foot wrap" technique.

I can suggest a pinblock pin fixation restoring technique that, far from being classic one, is quite effective. I call it a "foot wrap" technique. This technique features its cost effectiveness and way to avoid "distuning" of the adjacent pins, which is always the case when the pin is conventionally hammered in. First, you should loosen the "distuning" turning pin, so that the coils at the pinblock are slack. Then using a thin but strong screwdriver (bodkin) remove the string end out of the turning pin. Fully unscrew the turning pin with the string kept inserted. If you fail to do so, in some cases it will be difficult to re-tighten the string on the turning pin. Cut a 50 by 20 mm strip out of the compact corrugated cardboard (of 2-3 mm thickness). Insert it in the seat so that the cardboard filled half of the circle. Firmly place this cardboard strip so that it reached the end of a seat. Force the turning pin into the seat while gradually screwing it in. Have this done gradually in 3 or 4 steps, so as to keep the turning pin from heating. Keep screwing the turning pin into its original ("home") fixing zone in the pinblock. Then, very gently with a small effort put the end of the string into the hole of the turning pin using a screwdriver. Adjusting and fixing the turning pin until it reaches the desired position, hold the coils of the string by a screwdriver so as to avoid their "sprawling". I advise you, unless you have paired turning pin installed, while tightening both turning pins of the same string to obtain equal pitch level.

Dear eltonjohnfan100, Classical School of Tuning and Repairing pianos finds my method of harmful and ineffective. However, I dare say that screwing pin, we destroys the corrugated boards and it's fills the destroyed areas of pinblock . If we to hammer pin of larger diameter it's detrimental to the piano

[eltonjohnfan100]

honestly, just replace it with a larger pin...

DumpYourTelevision I am very glad for your review on my video. In fact, my method works. This method is reliable and low-cost. If you have any problems with incontinence pin, I recommend. If yourself tuning a piano , I approve.

Perhaps a video showing us how to do it the "right" way would be of interest to all those doing it "wrong"?

I tune my piano myself, and have many people say I am doing it "wrong" yet, it serves me quite well. I have not mastered the art of setting all the pins yet, some hold better than others. My piano isn't a very good one as in, it's not expensive, though I do enjoy the technical aspect of the instrument just as much as playing it.

I found this video very insprational.

If you don't understand the benefits of this procedure, it does not mean that the method is wrong. Before such a categorical claim, try and see for yourself

This is how NOT to carry out such an operation!
