Sounds fine to me. With a different insert, I could use the chisel to
install the bridge pins too. Actually, I've been drooling over those slick
little sculptors air chisels, and wondering how they'd work for bridge
pins. I haven' t found one I can borrow to try out, and since I don't have
a good enough potential alternate use (excuse) to justify having spent the
$150+ if it didn't work - I'm still just thinking about it. Any of you
University tech types have access to one of these from the Noisy Dusty Arts
Department to try it out and let us know?
