David asks: >>Someone, probably Ron Nossaman, once posted a picture of a homemade tool for pushing tuning pins up a little in the pinblock of a grand piano. I cant find it, and have just gotten a\n old Story &Clark grand with a few tuning pins with coils almost to the bushings. pins are tight, strings not to be replaced, so am looking for the quick fix tool. I once had to raise the pins in a grand. I found that with just the right length of tuning pin, I could get to them from underneath with a palm nailer. After flattening my hand once or twice, I managed to get a rubber pad under it and could get, with control, one or two impacts on the bottom of the pins. They walked up nicely.
