---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Julia, I recommend reading the PACE upright regulation manual available from the Home Office. The technique described works well, although you have to practice bending spoons in the piano. It's not that tough after you work on it for a little while. As far as tools, I would suggest the APSCO #16406 spoon bender - it's available from Schaff.
