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.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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). </FONT></DIV>
