When Malcolm Bilson was here to do the dedication recital on our new Maene, he also did a little regulating, voicing, etc. type of work and I remember he showed me a tool that he'd gotten somewhere to do something like the one you mention below. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what it was called or what it was used for. I'll send him an e-mail asking if he can give me any of that information. Wish I could be at the convention but June is just almost impossible for me to get away because of a month long festival. You're taking plenty of punchings, aren't you? :-) Avery At 10:49 PM 6/11/05, you wrote: >Joe, here is what the capsule pliers which are used to expand the capsule >to remove and re-insert the hammer shanks look like.
