Multiple tool kits

[Bill Gibson]

I have things broken down into tuning and regulating tools in one bag, a
kit for strings/stringing tools, and a kit for all other repairs. I have a
two sided compartmental box for parts (felts, punchings, hammers, shanks,
etc.) Each kit goes into a larger wheeled container so that I can carry
everything into the customer's home if necessary.
