Hello Jeannie, I believe the tool is available yet at Baumgartel in Germany www.pianoteile-baumgaertel.de (who had those tool made for them)- I just measured the Allen wrench and it is 1.3 mm Allen. (Yamaha is 1.5 mm Allen) reference is 1.3x0.05x40 (mm)for the tool I have (Germany made , brand Wihu?(?) If you don't find one let me know I can provide it for you. The allen I have is on a small turning handle that is less easy to loose it , but initially I seem to recall a small one is in the handle of the tool (like for the Yamaha tool).
