I've got an upright that has been taken apart so many times that the
bolts (flange screws) that hold the whippens in are loose (not throughout
the piano, just in the mid range) from having been removed and replaced
so many times. Now the whippens (on that part of the piano) are actually
loose.
I know the ideal answer is to actually insall a new set of threads (not
clothes) but that is beyond my carpentry level.
I am tempted to buy new bolts (flange screws) one size larger, but that
might have unintended consequences. or maybe one size up screws IS the
answer?
I have some titebond that I bought for tuning peg holes, and never
actually tried. Now I'm thinking a bit of that might help those flange
screws return to their original tightness.
Thoughts?
