I have not done this myself, but a tech told us at the chapter of using =
a razor blade splitting the buckskin and felt over the center, then =
peeling the buckskin and felt away and then using a sharp (or dull) side =
cutting pliers and splitting the wood and removing it from the shank.  =
He demoed it and it looked like it worked well.

  List,

              I'll be replacing knuckles soon on an older Steinway and =
am considering the removal tool offered by pianotek . It seems =
reasonably priced and I wondered if anybody has used it or can offer any =
other suggestions for removing knuckles.

              Thanks,

              Tom Driscoll

  P.S. This action plays reasonably well even before clean-prep =
-regulate etc. So I 'm planning on just matching the original size with =
Abel knuckles. Thoughts?
