[pianotech] c clamp

[Isaac Sadigursky]

Hi,Brian !
C-clamp method was introduced by Jim Harvey in late 70-th at many  
Pedal repair classes...
Don Wigent,RPT from No.Carolina designed and improved that tool and  
sells it.. I do have one and it works very well,$35-40 cost of tool  
saves a lot of time..... Good Luck !!! Isaac Sadigursky-Pedalsy,Los
