[CAUT] What is this?

[Don Mannino]

Barbara,
 
This is a modification of the tool Kawai uses to regulate the spoons in
upright pianos.  I believe Jurgen Goering might be selling this version
of it, but I'm not sure.   The magnets are designed to hold it in place
on the strings, then you raise the wippens up until the hammers hit the
clear block and regulate the spoons so that the dampers just wink.  
 
If no one claims it, you have gained a nice tool.  It really helps to
regulate damper list for even touch in upright pianos. and is very
useful for solving some bobbling hammer issues in upright actions.

Greetings,
 
Hmm.  I was going through my tools in anticipation of a regulating job
and found this, umm, thingee with three magnets.  It was stuck to one of
my tools that I used in a class in Anaheim .  I hadn't used that
particular pack of tools this summer.  It's true that I was very tired
when I got to California because I had squished in a bunch of work
before I left.  There is the possibility that this belongs to one of the
people that helped me in my class, or someone handed it to me, maybe as
something for TT & T and I just don't remember, or I bought it and don't
recall doing so.  Yikes!
 
If this looks familiar and you gave it to me, or it belongs to you,
please let me know.  Also, please let me know what it's for!  It's about
6 inches long, about 1 in tall the side that has the magnets is about
3/4" (I think).  
 
Man, I'm weirded out....
 
Thank you.
