<div>Tom has given you good info. about compressors.<br>
<div style="font-family:helvetica,arial;font-size:10pt;color:black"><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid blue; padding-left: 3px;"> palm nailers( for driving tuning pins), and pressured air to
clear dust and debris.</blockquote></div>
If you string pianos and haven't used a palm nailer for it, you are really missing out.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, I used to schlep a compressor into clients homes when cleaning their pianos, but in that application, the air compressor has been superceded by an electric leaf blower.<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">If you do any level of rebuilding or extensive
repairs....the compressor is essential. The nail gun ( assuming that's what you
were referring to), is not...unless of course you are building jigs to speeding
up the assembly process.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Pneumatic tools are extremely nice to work with.
Plus they last dramatically longer than most electric driven tools which makes
them more cost efficient.</font></div>

sanders, grinders, palm nailers( for driving tuning pins), and pressured air to
