I agree with Paul regarding the sostenuto tool. I've never tried adjusting the sos on a bench, but I suppose if it works, and you like bench regulation, more power to ya!
I'm going to venture a guess for the monkey: the original Curious George.

I believe that tool is to regulate the sostenuto blade on the Steinway action.

I purchased a retiring technician's shop last year and am just now getting through the bottom drawers of neat stuff he left me. He's moved on, so he's not available to ask. Anyone know what this nifty little Steinway tool does? It was generally in the Regulation section of the tool drawer.
P.S. For the Bonus Round, can anyone guess who the primate is?
