It might kink a little but = doesn't matter -- only the end half inch or so needs to be open. Insert = the curved part behind the pressure bar from above, poke the piano wire = into the tubing, then push it upwards until it's threaded thru. One of = the first homemade tools I ever made and I'm still using the same one 22 = years later. --David Nereson, RPT, Denver =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
