<x-tab> </x-tab>With the
Sciortino tool I've found it's best to push down on the body of the tool
while your cranking the pin. Otherwise it just seems to want to jump
off.<br><br>

great (expensive) tool when it works, which for me is about half the
time. Never have figured out why it sometimes does not. It’s like
splicing a string: Sometimes I can do it in the dark with one finger in
my nose, other times I stare stupidly at the ends and can’t remember what
goes which where or why.<br>

of those, (they're perfect when you're not removing the tuning pin on
bass strings, though, aren't they?)<br>
