special tool

[Isaac sur Noos]

Is it for a vertical piano ? if so the tool is know as "jack spring
hole cleaner" You really can make one yourself with some good metal
tubing the good size, where you cut a few teeth with a metal saw. Out
of the piano trade , some companies are producing some kind of tubing
drills in case a nail or a screw is lost in the wood so you can drill
around them.
Also, unless a large amount of glue is in the hole it is not necessary
to clean all, I have never glued back the new spring anyway, and have
never cleaned to the wood the old hole, without any real problem
(sometime a click or obliged to clean a hole more).
Do you have addresses in the US if you want to buy the real tool ?

I am in France, so I am not of a big help from here, but I can give
German addresses for the best tools in Europe. like
http://www.jahn-pianoteile.de/ they write in English, the catalog is
on line in PDF form use the username "Klaviermeister" and password
"Klaviermeister" to access the site.
Good luck
And a Very good year 2004 !
