Calliope Tuning Tool
By Marvin Horovitz
Hi: What is the tool or method to raise and lower pipe stops in
the Tangley calliope pipes? If the plugs are frozen how do you
un-freeze them?
Thank you
Marv Horovitz
[ I used a slide hammer (slide hammer puller). The shaft screws
[ into the threaded hole in the center of the tuning plug (normally
[ closed with a small threaded pipe plug). Just bash the brass
[ tuning plug up or down. I never encountered a 'frozen' plug but
[ occasionally a crystallized solder joint would break during tuning.
