York’s wood saw used to trim hammer stems and pedal rods.
A string of keys from the piano tuning supply house.
From Left to Right–Yellow dust cloth;Wurlitzer Duraphonic Radial soundboard; Soundboard Steel to mount a dust cloth for cleaning under the strings.
York’s grandpa, a piano tuner, would make his soundboard cleaner out of a stick of bamboo, before the appearance of soundboard steel. He’d lay it on the floor, accidentally step on it, then he’d cuss like a sailor.
York’s tweezers used to extract baby mice from upright pianos.
York holds a hammer stem.
York is tuning a Kawai grand piano with his Yamaha Stroboscope. Shortly before, he dove under this very instrument looking for money.
