  The one I have is an old Hale one from Tuners Supply.
  I just never checked in the Pianotek Catalogue, but good point their =
tools seem to be better.
  The best quality tools in a catalogue, seem to be Renners.
  Oh yes, don't forget Mother Goose, he might have one.

    Good idea, but I'd go for Pianotek item BPE-1, page D-33.  It looks =
a lot like the Schaff item, but it is thicker in cross section, and a =
harder steel, so it won't twist in two when you try to use it.  DAMHIK.

      How about using, item #110, a tuning pin extractor, in the Schaff =
catalogue page 46.
      Vice grips?

        Hi all,=20

        I've come across a piano that has a broken tuning pin(it was =
like that when I got there...really...).  There is nothing square left =
on the pin fragment still in the plate.  It is in the very corner, where =
strut meets strut next to the stretcher.  Hacksawing a slot may be =
difficult.  I'm looking for advice as to the best way to get this out.   =


        This isn't an urgent situation, since the tech that was involved =
in the breakage has said he'd get it out, and get a new pin and string =
in, but I have my doubts that that will occur, so I'd like to be ready =
with a solution or two should I be called on to deal with this.=20

        Thanks in advance,=20
