More on hearing protection

[Ron Boyd]

            HI John,  I had some brass rods of various sizes that are
notched on the end. They work very well. The one that works the best is
around 5 inches. I use it in my regulation tool handle. (can't think of the
right name). They also work nice for getting rid of kinks in wires.

Yes! Makes perfect sense. In fact, I did that yesterday with a piece of
dowel stock I bought. Haven't tried it yet on a piano.  The dowel is a bit
longer than the shank, which I found a bit short in certain sections
(vertical treble).

I'm also going to try a small brass rod to see how that works. Also have
thought about using aluminum b/c it's lighter than brass. But I'm predicting
I'll stick with wood.

Glad it's working for you, Ron. I hereby designate you as the official
resident expert in this. From now on, everyone direct their questions to Ron
;-)

Seriously, I think this is something anyone could do if they just get to a
piano and experiment a bit.
