Hi Ryan,
Jack is a dear friend and gave me the tool last summer. I use it to scrape wood, clean out spring holes, etc. but would never use it for voicing. It is m eant to be poked into the crown like a glovers needle...
Best,
Jim

I just noticed this site advertised in the latest PTG Journal. Looks like some quick & dirty voicing tools sold at a premium. The videos did not impress me very much with the so-called improvement.
From the look of the tools, I imagine one of the techniques is to scratch with a dental tool in the string grooves to reduce some of the stridency in the tone. Of course you can buy a dental scraper for a few bucks at Harbor Freight.
He doesn't disclose very much about how this revolutionary system works - I guess you have to pay $150 for the webinar to find out. Hmmmm....
I'd be curious at what others make of this -
