mailing list, <BR><BR>I was wondering where is the best place I can =
get both
tuning tools and <BR>regulating tools from, for a reasonable price. =
Please
wish me luck. I am an <BR>amateur and I am going by Arthur Reblitz's =
book
"Piano Tuning, Servicing, <BR>etc."' <BR><BR>By the way, is Mr. =
Reblitz's book
reliable for amateurs? Is it factually <BR>accurate? <BR><BR>Also, =
where can I
get some good lacquer for hammer hardening? <BR><BR>Andrew Koo</FONT>
