<DIV>I don't know about you, but I often get very annoyed at the clicking an=
d
clacking that abounds in pianos built in the eastern side of our planet.&nbs=
p;
Sometimes it's knuckles, sometimes jack regulation buttons; IN upright=
s,
it's often a glue joint at the meeting of the jack cushion and the butt
leather. There are undoubtedly other things that could be voo-doo'd in=
to
submission.</DIV>

<DIV>With the reach of a chopstick voicing tool, it's really easy to reach i=
n
and poke the offending clacker, or scrape off excess glue to remove noises i=

these actions.</DIV>
