Thanks, Tom. That's what I was looking for to recommend to Marshall. We
have a very good blink tech here in Houston, \but as far as I've been
able to find out, he doesn't have an e-mail address. <br><br>

I have used really thick pieces of wire for splicing broken bass strings
on concert grands. Otherwise, it is very rare to see a #23
string.<br><br>
I was just reading on line about the Smith-Kettlewell micrometer which is
recommended by a sight-impaired piano technician in San
Francisco:<br><br>
<font face="Verdana" size=2>"For general use in making precision
measurements of mechanical dimensions.<br>
</font><font face="Verdana"><br>
</font><font face="Verdana" size=2>This is a standard mechanical
micrometer which has been adapted with an expanded braille scale. The
scale is on a drum whose diameter is larger than the "thimble"
on which visual markings are inscribed.<br>
