There used to be one around here; my favorite is his technique for replacing hammers - using a knife to carve a small cone into the old recessed shank and whittling the shank to a point, jamming those suckers together real good: #75 with a #26 head. I think he's retired from tuning and repairs, maybe from having too many piano students. Clark ps Did this ever cross his mind? "Tuning pin tightener on hammers, dampers and strings can be counteracted by a healthy dose of WD-40 as an action lubricant; they'll never even hear my temperaments from the keys I haven't lost"
