After devising this tool, I saw that Pianotek Supply Company also has such a tool and bought one, but mine is easier to work with because it's thinner and more versatile. I'm sure many technicians have devised this type of tool out of necessity. It consists of two very thin brass tubes, about 1/8" in diameter,connected to each other side by side either by epoxy, or duct tape, or whatever you can think of. After making the hitch pin bend in the middle of the wire, you simply insert the ends of the new wire into each tube, push the wire all the way through, and the tubes keep the wires nice and straight and compact as you feed the gadget down towards the hitch pin. In the upright, pull the action back after removing the action bolts. Clamp the bend onto the hitch pin, slowly remove the gadget, and you've saved yourself a nice headache.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Jesse Gitnik<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> NYC<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Technician since 1980<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> -- No virus found in this incoming message.
