Hammers Tools: The process of the design may be checked when the blank is removed from the pitch block for annealing or heating to increase the ductility of the metal, or by making wax or plaster molds of the exposed reverse of the blank. Finishing of the surface may involve simple polishing, burnishing, chasing, undercutting, pickling, or even etching or engraving. For repousse work on hollow ware, where the reverse of the blank is inaccessible to the hammers tools and tools, a snarling iron or recingle is employed. This is essentially an extension of the various tools, mounted on the end of a Flexible steel rod, which in turn, is held in a vise.
The voicing of reeds in the common house organ is accomplished by giving the free end of the reed a slight curl or circumflex, and this also causes the reed to speak or sound more promptly and with less pressure of wind.
The voicing of pianos consists in the stabbing of the felt of which the hammers tools are made, by several needles fastened in a handle. The thrusts should be made directly toward the center of the hammer and not through the top of the felt, from the sides. In the making of hammers tools, which is done by machinery, one entire set being covered with felt at a time, there is a variation as to hardness in the individual hammers tools, and voicing is relied upon to lighten up the felt and give a uniform character of tone throughout the entire scale of the piano.

Sharp scissors, chisels, and knives give a clean cut and are safer to use than blunt ones. For general use, do not buy a prepackaged tool kit. These often include a number of tools you will never use. Be selective and choose tools according to the work you plan to do.
