Hi Newton As soon as I pressed the send button, it occurred you might be talking about punching the pin out from underneath . But if so why? (Instead of from above) The mental picture of a student driving a pin in head first was comical enough not to add the vision of the contortions of a technican trying to drive it back out from the underside. So how would such a task be accomplished? A 90° punch? A press rigged up with those cute little house jacks? A half inch punch then an extractor from above? Offering some arm chair hind-sight, perhaps the piano could be placed upside down on horses, and a hole bored through the key bed. You might need a driving punch longer than 9 ". x( :Þ Richard Moody btw How did you get it out? ---------- > From: Newton Hunt <nhunt@rci.rutgers.edu> > To: pianotech@byu.edu > Subject: Re: Tuners--Broken Pins > Date: Tuesday, January 07, 1997 7:04 AM > > Hi, Richard, > You are right, I saw but did not look. > This tool would work punching through the block from the top side, not > from undernieth. > Thanks for the lesson. > Newton
