[pianotech] string hook

Used for levelling the strings, what is the Hart string hook ? Joe Goss uses
that term on his article about string levelling on his mother goose web
site. For lifting as well as lowering?

 

At the Postdam one-day seminar last month, Kent Webb had a tool that was a
long brass bar with a long wire hanging by its side. He used it to "massage"
the string to settle on the bridge, but it was not the main use of this
tool. Does any of this ring a bell? Could it be a string leveller? The hook
would be on the long wire, the bar would be the [cantilever, lever, I don't
know the word] to [take support?] or for [counter-bracing]?

 

I wish I could explain this better. Sorry.

 

Thank you
