<!--beginarticle--><PRE>><I> In the early 1980's I attended a piano tool "swap meet" at Sid Stone's
</I>><I> shop in San Leandro, CA. There I found part of a brass tool, about
</I>><I> the size of my thumb. It looked pretty much like the smaller, wooden
</I>><I> one I had gotten in a box of tools from an old, retiring piano tech in
</I>><I> 1979. So I bought the brass one for 25cents, took it home and
</I>><I> cobbled up the rest of the parts from the local hardware
</I>><I> store--miniature bushmaster. Some time later I found one made out of
</I>><I> aluminum, about two inches high and one inch wide.

Was the body of the aluminum one shaped somewhat like a violin?
