I don't use this tool, however, to put the new pins in. I just hold the center pin with needle nose pliers, and push it in the hole and through the new elbow by pushing the neighboring wipps up.  </div> <div> </div> <div>Wim </div> <div></div> <div style="clear: both;"> <div> </div> </div> <div></div> <div></div> <div style="color: black; font-family: arial,helvetica; font-size: 10pt;">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Marshall Gisondi <pianotune05@hotmail.com><br> To: pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Fri, Nov 23, 2012 4:50 am<br> Subject: [pianotech] elbows<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_1_1014323a-3048-4e3c-864f-da78bd7c6999"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="3" face="Arial">Hi Everyone,</font><br> <font size="3" face="Arial">thanks for the responses.  William, are you talking about plastic or the wood elbows?  To me the plastic makes more sense in the case of my customer. The piano is never played and she only wants it working in case they have a party and someone wants to play it. to me it seems more economical to put the plastic ones on.  I'm having trouble visualizing how the wood ones are put on, pick a workable center pin?  workable? there is such a small space between each wippen, how does one put in a center pin and have enough room to fit a tool in there without cracking the wippen?  I'm going to read up on it in Reblits as well to see if he offers any pictures of this. I know being vision impaired sounds odd that I would need a picture, but if it's large enough and clear enough it does help.  Well have a good one, now on to some leftovers lol </font><br> <font size="3" face="Arial">Marshall</font><br> </div> </div>  </div> </font>
