The one I have is an old Hale one from Tuners Supply.
I just never checked in the Pianotek Catalogue, but good point their tools seem to be better.
The best quality tools in a catalogue, seem to be Renners.
Oh yes, don't forget Mother Goose, he might have one.

  Good idea, but I'd go for Pianotek item BPE-1, page D-33.  It looks a lot like the Schaff item, but it is thicker in cross section, and a harder steel, so it won't twist in two when you try to use it.  DAMHIK.

    How about using, item #110, a tuning pin extractor, in the Schaff catalogue page 46.
    Vice grips?

      Hi all, 

      I've come across a piano that has a broken tuning pin(it was like that when I got there...really...).  There is nothing square left on the pin fragment still in the plate.  It is in the very corner, where strut meets strut next to the stretcher.  Hacksawing a slot may be difficult.  I'm looking for advice as to the best way to get this out.   

      This isn't an urgent situation, since the tech that was involved in the breakage has said he'd get it out, and get a new pin and string in, but I have my doubts that that will occur, so I'd like to be ready with a solution or two should I be called on to deal with this. 

      Thanks in advance, 

      Dave Stahl
