Hello James Ellis, Yes it is, long 60 cm in fact, they are sold like that, with a very thin sharp end, at any piano parts supplier in Europe. Check Jahnn http://www.pianoteile.de/ or also Baumgartel www.pianoteile-baumgaertel.de Also Renner (no Web site), Piano parts in France www.piano-parts.com. etc... I just received my WATANABE catalog (Japan) does not seem to be there (nor any centerpin in fact). They have the nice tools used by Yamaha. The hand tools, we call them "Tourne a gauche" in French (Turn to the left, if you want a translation) Greetings. Isaac OLEG Isaac OLEG Entretien et reparation de pianos.
