Love your tip on tips. I just came from the UAE and spent a couple days with a tuner from China. He carries almost nothing in a small brief case for servicing, and only 1 tuning tip. I went with him on one service call, and as un-luck would have it for him, it was an old birdcage action piano with (probably size 1 or 1.567--god knows) let me say small pins, as he stuggled for control, well I was out of my area, and could not believe what a lousy result he obtained, I was ashamed of this type of work, he smiled took money from the client, and I made certain no oene knew my name. I have a box of different sized tips in my State side work shop and only yesterday packed them up to take back with me to the middle east. I keep two tips and handles always in my over "heavy" tool case. I now am going to mic. all my tips out, each side and lable them with a dremel. I must have complete controll of the "feel" I also have a box of tips,
