Yesterday I was voicing before a concert, and for only the second time ever I broke the tip off the needle in my chopstick voicing tool. I got out the needle case I keep in an old pill container in my kit, which also luckily held the tiny allen key for the chopstick, and I found that I had exactly one needle left in there. Plus I had used it multiple times to open clogged CA glue bottle spouts. Luckily when I broke it in two to make it short enough, the CA came off it. Anyway, years ago I had some idea which needles to buy for this kind of voicing, but now I'm drawing a blank. I've been using a fairly small "sharps" needle. Does anyone have any hints about what size and type I should get? I leave about 1/3 of an inch exposed. thanks ... Susan Kline P.S. Tuned and voiced for Jon Nakamatsu and Jon Manasse yesterday -- what gents, what musicians! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
