<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The few Yamaha tools I have bought have =
been real
nice. As you have certainly noticed, they are also expensive. I find =
that many
tools and supplies that Pianotech sells are a notch better in quality =
than what
Schaff sells (Schaff and APSCO are the same company now). I =
certainly still
buy stuff from Schaff, but usually only if Pianotech doesn't carry the =
item. Get
their catalog, buy a few things, and make your own =
conclusions.</FONT></DIV>
