[pianotech] Whippen storage

[Thomas Cole]

There are pianos which use a type of wippen that has spring cords, one 
for the jack and another for the repetition lever. I used to tune for a 
lady that had such a piano and kept a few repaired wips in a Ziploc 
ready to exchange when a cord broke. She didn't think she needed a whole 
set repaired, thus her piano was tuned more frequently than she would 
have otherwise :-)

She has long since left the area / died / whatever and I've had no call 
for a used wippen of any sort.
