[pianotech] German Loop Tools

[Bruce Browning]

List,
I've thought about building one of these into the wooden handle of my hammer.
I've already drilled into the hammer handle, from the end, to allow
for the insertion of a tuning pin, with appropriately placed screw to
wind string onto pin, for restringing.
Since you'll have the tool out, why not incorporate all features in one.
