<DIV>Good idea, but I'd go for Pianotek item BPE-1, page D-33. =
It
looks a lot like the Schaff item, but it is thicker in cross =
section, and a
harder steel, so it won't twist in two when you try to use it. =

all, <BR><BR>I've come across a piano that has a broken tuning =

Hacksawing a slot may be difficult. I'm looking for =
advice
as to the best way to get this out. <BR><BR>This isn't an =

situation, since the tech that was involved in the breakage has =

that that will occur, so I'd like to be ready with a solution or =

should I be called on to deal with this. <BR><BR>Thanks in =
