There are a few tools which allow needling the underside of upright piano hammers with the action installed. Two specialized tools are pictured below. One is the "Orca" single needle voicer. It has the needle mounted in a sphere which can be fixed so the the needle points in almost any direction. The other is a ring voicing tool which can be held between fingers or worn like a ring. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'ver never done it before. Voicing on a grand seems somewhat more practical, since it is easy enough to slide the action in and out. But it seems like a hassle to take the action out in between listening in order to needle the hammers bottomsides.
