Hi !
Good trick , and if someone that use to prep pianos is asking, one can
remember him (and ask him to tell around) that , when inserting
objects OR PULLING THEM OUT of the strings , like pencils, little wood
blocks, screw, clocks, cuckoos, V8 engines or such, NEVER FORGET TO
HOLD THE SUSTAIN PEDAL DOWN (please) .

With many thanks
