Piano Power Tuning Pin Socket

Works perfectly! Remove all the tuning pins in a full size upright piano in about an hour. That would have taken many, many, hours of hard physical labor to accomplish without this tapered socket designed for the job. Well worth the money, however I think it is a bit on the pricey side considering I'll only use it once. If I were in the business of disposing of old pianos, well then it would be a bargain! That said no regrets, saved a lot of hard work!

The media could not be loaded.  Used a Ryobi hammer drill (the bit did not fit my impact driver) to remove the pins from an old stand up piano. Very fast and easy - this bit fit the pins perfectly.

I am tearing down an old upright piano to strip the innards and install a modern electronic keyboard. Which means taking out the big metal harp frame. Taking out all the screws that holds it in does not unleash it. Every tuning peg needs to be removed, every single one of them. Twisting them out with a vice grip is horrible, and I can only make it through three or so before giving up for several days. Then I found this tool. What a gift! Within an hour I had all of the pegs, over 8 pounds of them, out, freeing up the harp frame. So now I can move on with the rebuild, after a year of stalling out from the frustration. This tool is wonderful!

I wanted to disassemble my old piano and did some research. I the process of learning how to go about that, I find this and bought it. It saved SO much time and effort. Just attach it to the drill and got those pins removed fairly quickly. Highly recommend.

Worked great for our project.

Worked perfectly to dismantle our piano.

None of my metric or standard sockets seemed “quite right” for the tuning pins in a late 1890’s upright I have been rebuilding. For a bit, the cost of this seemed (and still seems) a bit high… that said, it removes my tuning pins better than anything else I have, and is of high quality materials / manufacturing tolerances. Rebuilding the piano I’m working on would simply be a nightmare without this tool.

De-stringing a 120 year-old upright grand piano was trivial and safe with this tool. Fit the pegs exactly and an 18-volt cordless drill made the task fast. Very high quality as well. Highly recommend.
