    Yeah, great company. Also had a west coast office. I drove there once.

    The best tools. Still using my Hale tuning tips. They still fit well after 40 years.

    Lets start a thread where we can post items that are no longer available , where useless, should be revived. I have to look around to take pictures but does anyone remember the little plastic inserts made to replace felt bushings in keys ? how about hammer flanges that had an oval shaped hole for the flange screw ? rubber mute strip with about a half dozen mutes all joined together ? bluing solution to put on string coils to block rust ? little card board humidity detection strips that changed color when humidity went high ? single bulb low water light for dampp chasers ? adjustable dampp chaser humidistat ? cardboard pillow for dampp-chaser installers ?

    Handle mutes with rounded shoulders that didn't hang up on neighbor shanks (vertical pianos), and a narrower size

    "Make it a rule, use a Hale tool"
    With their Sunnyvale CA location, supplies were received quickly.
    It was only 2 hours from where my service area is, in Sonoma County.
