Extracting glued bridge pins

[David Skolnik]

Thanks Horace and all -

I recently purchased the key bushing iron set up from Pianotek, having not 
replaced the one I used while at Manhattan School, but had not yet had the 
occasion to use it.  This will provide the opportunity.  Thanks.  Terry, I 
know I've seen the item you mentioned, but I can't recall where. Do you know?
