Serious Case of Genckflop

[John Ross]

Oh yes, I have lost my fair share.
On a square grand years ago, I lost that adapter tip that can be used with 
the normal tuning hammer.
I found it on the last pin of the same piano, a year later.
I have a few doubles, of tools, I thought I lost, and replaced.
One I had was a Starrett centre pin, and tuning pin gauge, I really feel bad 
about losing that one. One of the supply houses made one, but it's accuracy, 
left much to be desired.
