Greetings, 

             I got a really good idea!  I have done about 5 hammer carding & 
needling jobs for customers who own old, old uprights and I take the actions 
home to card and do basic deeep shoulder needling.

              However, when I return the action  to the piano, I find I need 
to custom or individually needle the hammers to tonally match/blend the 
octaves, or rather, make the side by side notes sound homogonous/alike next to one 
another, blending the sections.

               With the action in place, when I attemp this, my voicing 
tool's handle gets in the way and is too big to use in the small space between the 
hammers and the strings. I don't like the idea of swinging the action back and 
forth to needle, listen, needle, listen...etc. 

               The great idea is to dismantle the voicing tool, saw off the 
1" or so handle insert thereby having just the needle (cartridge?) head in hand 
so that I can work quickly with the upright action in place. Is this a good 
idea?
