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 Isaac OLEG Entretien et reparation de pianos.
