Thanks for your input Roger. I'm suprised you did not mention your electric iron and moist rags! I should have pointed out that I certainly do carry my iron and raggies with me! I have a question on the Japanese set of finger needles for verticals. Is this the little voicing tool that Pianotek markets for verticals - looks like a thick guitar pick with needles coming out one side. Or are you referring to something else? Where do you find Japanese finger needles? Thanks.
