[pianotech] pianotech Digest, Vol 44, Issue 78

[Joseph Garrett]

Wim,
Well, Yes & No.<G> My tool, (which is time-tested<G>), if "tapping" is
necessary, is in a downward motion, so it would not mess up the "notch(s)
of the nut, like other methods would. 
That's my take on it.
Joe

> If you do as I suggested, "tap gently", you won't have that problem .Of
course, there are limits to "gently" and sometimes the thing is frozen, and
you have to use brute force. In that case, even the tool you suggest will
mar the brass. But most of the time gentle tapping will do the job.
