[pianotech] which Allen wrenches to carry

[Paul T Williams]

And remember the extra tiny one for the brass chopstick tool!  I don't 
know what size it is, but man it's small!

      3/16" might work on Everett lids, but I just measured the 
one I use and it looks more like 7/32".   I've seen Vise-grips 
marks on Everett lid screws when janitors didn't have the right 
one.
    Then I have a 3/8" and an 8mm, for leg and lyre bolts on (I 
think it's) Samick and other Korean pianos. maybe Kawai. 
Haven't noticed the new Steinway set-up.
    Oh, then I have teeny tiny ones for the set screws that hold 
the needles in on my voicing tools.  One of 'em is a 1.5mm, I 
believe, probably for the Yamaha tool, and it was hard to find. 
Had to order 'em from Yamaha, plus extra set screws.
    Can't think of any other places they occur very often, but 
in the tool box for my car, I have those fold-up sets, one SAE 
and the other metric.
