size=2>From what I've been told, the second "voicing tool" is actually a
"beat counter". I have one that came from M. Roseburrough's auction,
but have never been entirely clear on its intended function. So
I'm interested, too. Thanks for asking, Eric.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The other two photos show
another tool that I assume is used for voicing as well. Two of the three
“crossbars” slide along the parallel “rods”. As shown in the last photo,
the middle crossbar has two small needles that protrude about 2-3mm. I
would be very appreciative if anyone could tell me what this is and how to
use it.</P>
