some time ago in the 'how well a harp performs' thread Silvertone mentioned making a draw scraper out of an allen wrench. i was digging out loose detritus from the bottom of a toolbox the other day and found all these little orphan allens.
i found one to small enough to fit the narrow reed slots(six and above) and sawed it very close to the right angle. i beveled it and it fits perfectly in my Seydel pin vise.
it peels the brass like a champ or, if you only need a little scratch, it does a fine line too.
Mahalo for the great idea Silvertone! ----------
