Young-Chang

[Horace Greeley]

James,

Denny Burger (of what used to be Kimball-Bosendorfer) had a tool made to
address this problem.  It was the end of a normal tool, cut off and then
silver-soldered to a length of "thickish" core wire.  The other end of the
core wire was then set into resin in a wooden handle.  This thing fit into
the smallest spaces between the dowels, and still was strong enough to
provide good torque.

Of course, Yamaha makes a tapered tool, which also works...

Best.

Horace
