I design and make alot of my own tools and piano related  innovations.  I would like to share some of them with you and would like others to do the same.       This one is a brass voicing tool. I made this in a 1/2 hr and under $3.00. I have seen them advertised for $60.00 U.S.  Very simply take a brass rod drill small hole in one end , put in a needle and solder. Make a handle for other end and glue it on.                                   thanks, Jack <pre> <hr WIDTH="90%" SIZE=4>_______________________________________________ pianotech list info: <a href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives">https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</a></pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
