impact hammer

[Don]

Hi Pat,

Sometimes tuning tips can become magnatized. One way to solve that is to
use a demagnatizer--another way is to give it a good *whack* with a hammer.
Place tip (still attached to lever) on an anvil and have it it.

Also on lower grade pianos the tuning pins tend to the green cheese variety
of softness so any *scaring* on the inside of your tip may *bite* into the
pin...making removal difficult. A new tip is a good investment. 

I followed a tuner (don't know who) once on a yamaha C-7..there were metal
shards all over the pin block area from the pins. Such a shame.
