After several years, I finally had to replace my chopstick tool needle, and even that didn't break off in a hammer. An incautious move picking it up wedged the rubber tubing guard between a tuning pin and a plate strut, and snapped the needle off. The piece was stuck sideways in the rubber tubing, and it was quite hard to get out, but at least I knew where it was. I press rather than whack when voicing, that is, when I am not using ethanol and water 1/2 and 1/2 instead of needles. Susan
