But before you buy anything, try the tips on another newer piano that = you know to be standard size. There was a time when the tips that were = made, were too large for the sizes that they actually were marked. Sole tips are shorter than most available now, and are available in size = #2 and #3 from Jahn in Germany and Mother Goose Tools in the U.S. Joe Goss RPT Mother Goose Tools imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Philippe Errembault=20 To: Pianotech List=20 Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 1:51 AM Subject: Tuning pins undersized, where can I find sockets for my lever = ? Hello,=20 I live in Brussels and I got a very old piano with a wooden frame, and = I'd like to use it to learn tuning by myself, and why not becoming = someday a professional tuner. (I'm quite tired of my previous job...) = So... It seems that there is only one shop in brussels that could help = me, but they are soooo helping, that each time I visit them I decide = that it will be the last time. They never did anything else that trying = to implicitly discourage me, and I have the feeling that they just want = to protect their position of monopoly on Brussels. So I'm trying to find = every information I can on the net and in books. Since they were soooo cooperative, I've bought on the net, a tuning = kit including a "Hale Pro Extension Tuning Hammer" (it seems to be more = a tuning lever than a tuning hammer but... ok. Here are pictures of the = stuff : http://home.flash.net/~schteev/prokit8.jpg = http://home.flash.net/~schteev/ext1.jpg This material was presented as being THE professional reference for = tuners, and it seemed true, since it matches quite closely with the = drawing in the book from Arthur A. Reblitz; including the name "Hale" on = it... I bought it with two aditionnal sockets, and none of them match with = my piano. The pins on my piano are only 1/4" on the cylindric part, and = 4.5mm at the top. even the smallest tip (#1) is floating nearly freely = around it. The seller has no idea on how to help me solve my problem. Do = you have any idea where / how I could find a socket small enough for my = piano ? thank you,=20 Philippe Errembault ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
