For one thing, I feel (that's just me = now!) like it's wasting my time, and the other, I don't like leaving my tools unattended--especially in schools, etc. Barbara Richmond, RPT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Gamble" <<A href="">michael@gambles.fsnet.co.uk</A>> To: "'Barbara Richmond'" <<A href="">piano57@insightbb.com</A>>; "'Pianotech'" <<A href="">pianotech@ptg.org</A>> Sent: Thursday, September 15, = 2005 1:11 PM Subject: RE: Tuning Hammers, How Many? Hello = Barbara I bought one of those folding luggage trolleys - the type you put = suit-cases on - from a "luggage shop". Using "shock-cords" I secure a largish = camera bag in place and in its compartments I keep screws, bitz of actions, a = saw (that was VERY useful the other day) odd tools like wire benders and = key crunchers etc. Plus a few APSCO cans of the most commonly broken strings. With = wheels attached the weight doesn't matter. It lives in my car throughout the = week. My other slim attaché case has the important tuning and repair = tools also the various glues spare ivories and felts. This is how my portable kit = has evolved over the last 30+ years on the road.
