Seek Tool To Adjust Pins of Barrel Piano
By Rod Cornelius

I have just come across a friend who has an English barrel piano
that needs some of the pins straightened. Is there a tool to do this?

Some of them are slightly bent, others are nearly flat.  These are
mostly on the bass string end of the barrel.  If there is such a tool,
where can I purchase one?

I have hypodermic needles to straighten pins on a cylinder music box,
but these pins are a lot stronger.  There does not seem to be too much
damage to the hole where they fit into the barrel.
