I asked my dentist about them (he has a Steinway and I tune and service his piano) and he said those were probably made in Germany and I didn't need to spend that much money for them and he said he could get the clamps for a lot less. The one he got me was $13.95 plus tax. I think the clamp you can get for $7.00 should work just fine. I'll be out tuning this week, but as soon as I get to my shop, I'll check the name for you.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>Al Guecia</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Tahoma"> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #f5f5f5"> <DIV style="font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title="mailto:KeyKat88@aol.com
