I used two bass hammers epoxied together for years until I lost it recently. Was desperate for something today, looked around and saw a pencil with a big, fat, rectangular eraser. Worked pretty good. It was actually better in some ways than my bass hammer thingee because the eraser was smaller and it held to the keys better. Only problem was that it was so thin it was harder to grasp.
