Hi John,
I think I'm going to give that a try.  Does Schaff sell these?

  Another way, is to put a front rail punching on all the A's.
  I have run across, a few pianos, where the vision impaired person left =
them in. That is just my assumption, that is why they were there.=20

    Perhaps you could use 8 short lengths of tubing=20
    that will slip over the tuning pins. The first thing you could do is
    mark the location of all the A's with a piece of tubing. Then you
    wouldn't have to go all the way to one of the breaks to count back =
to
    your position if you get lost.

    Marshall,
    There is a better way, that is time tested. I use it for chipping up =
a newly strung piano, before the action is ready. Put front rail =
punchings on all of the "A's". You can still get your tuning hammer on =
the pin, unlike the tubing idea.<G> This is also a good thing for Square =
Grands when the note lettering is gone/erased/covered in crud.<G> This =
is a technique used by the olde time "blind" tuners.
