Damper lead crimping pliers

Loose leads in grand piano damper levers can cause knocking noises. Florian Stäheli and Dietmar Assimis-Kohls from Pianoservice Fuhrer in Geneva have designed a simple but highly effective pair of pliers to eliminate this source of interference.
 

Jahn has further developed the prototype and added these special pliers to its product range. The application is straightforward: by lifting the adjacent damper arms, you can easily access the lead plugs and compress them with the pliers. This secures the plugs in place and eliminates the rattling.

 

 Small but “OHO”

The 9 ml (0.30 oz) infusion bottle for lubricants such as Protek or Rapid 88 is ideal for use in the field. The long syringe allows precise dosing of the liquids, making it easy to reach even tight or awkward spots within the action. This ensures efficient and targeted application without waste or mess.
 

The special feature: the bottle can be closed tightly using a rotary valve. This means that no liquid escapes uncontrolled into the tool bag. Even during transport or when stored horizontally, the secure seal prevents leaks and contamination. The bottle’s compact size also makes it convenient to carry in technician kits or pockets. Durable and reusable, it’s a practical companion for everyday service work.

 

 Piano screwdriver set

Once you've used these screwdrivers, you won't want to be without them again.

The blades fit perfectly and are of the best quality.

The handle lies comfortably in the hand. The soft handle sheath made of skin-friendly Santoprene® effortlessly transfers high hand torques to the screws. The surface texture provides a pleasantly warm feel, offers a secure grip and allows fatigue-free working.

 

The set includes a blade with a tapered shank for both PZ2 and slotted action screws to ensure good access to the joint tongues.

For grand piano action screws and slotted screws such as Yamaha and Steinway, the various other blades fit perfectly.

 

Newly included is a special blade with a “search sleeve” for damping screws as well as a square center ale, which is ideal for use as a reamer and drill. Small screwdrivers for hinge and intonation needle screws round off the set.
