---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Fellow Flashers - Actually, I must somewhat un-ditto, or dis-ditto part of what Fred says and what I said earlier. The Streamlight has, thus far, proven to be hardier than the previous flexible lights I've used, but for the purpose for which I most often use this item, observing the position of the sostenuto rail in relation to the tabs, the head of the Streamlight does not easily fit between the strings. The Bend-a-light Pro (Pianotek #BAL-16 P.D-19) did fit, but, again, my experience with its durability was disappointing. In addition, its 16" length was inconvenient for my tool case. The actual link for the Streamlight Stylus Reach (approx. 13" long), not the Stylus Reach 18 (too long) is http://www.streamlight.com/stylus_reach_info.htm . It has a life-time warrantee (not sure whether the light's lifetime or mine), which is good. The best tool I currently have for getting between strings is without any identifying name. I hope someone recognizes it from my description. It's a black rubber cap that fits over the face-end of a Mini Maglight (2 AA) extending from which is a stiff-ish fiber optic element, about 7" long and 3mm in diameter (mixing my measurephors). Using this on a LED modified Maglight works about as well as anything I've tried thus far. David Skolnik At 08:20 AM 10/4/2005 -0600, you wrote: >I'll ditto David on the Streamlight Stylus Reach.
