Hi Terry,

The Yamaha tool is the way to go for an all around good tool. You might =
want to addd some weight to it. I also use a large (upright back handle =
with pin vise chuck installed and added lead weight) single needle tool =
for deep needling. Chopstick voicers are also useful for una corda =
voicing. The battery powered Dremel with an added chuck attachment works =
great for deep or side needling. A modified set of vise grips can do =
wonders on the common granite-like hammers found in Asian pianos (ask me =
about the Samick 185 I spent nine hours on today! Coulnd't get a needle =
in those suckers.) Of course you know about steam already. Try some =
glover's needles. they really slice through some of that extra hard =
felt.

  I've been limping along for several years with a Schaff voicing tool =
that goes in the combination handle. I'm looking to step up. What is =
your favorite voicing tool and why. Thanks.
