>needles should I use, >what size,

Small enough in diameter to do the job, but not so small they break easily
when jabbing.  Currently I use Size 6 sewing needles Made in England

>how many in the tool,

I use one.  It suits my temperament.  If you can drive more than one and
still achieve the depth necessary, more power to you.

>and how many jabs

As many as it takes to accomplish the desired results.

>and where...

Best to have someone who is well versed in the Yamaha technique demonstrate
it.  Then you will know for certain the process and remove all doubt.
