Hi Julia,
I have all the spoon benders that the companys make and none work as =
well as the split screwdriver made to remove the key upstop rail brass =
round nuts. Of course it takes just a little while longer as you must =
lean the action back and use judgement to set the damper using its =
closest neighbors as guides. But it sure is a whole lot less fustrating.

  Subject: spoon bender won't fit!


  Greetings,

             Is there any other way to adjust/calibrate spoons? I have a =
Reinhard & Co. studio upright ca. 1900+ and the spoon bending tool will =
not fit.=20

             I can get the tool slid between the wippens okay, but when =
I go to turn the tool sideways in order to get the neck of the spoon in =
the tool head, I cannot. If I would turn the tool by force the wippen =
flange to the adjacent note would crack. it is so tight in there, no =
room. Can this job be done outside the piano?

             What to do? Any suggestions would be helpful.=20
