Here's a picture of a little tool I made for picking a Medeco M3. This tool is for rotating the pins so their slots face the sidebar's teeth. Its made from the wire from a fishing lure. This wire is really nicely tempered to give it strength and springiness yet still accept bends. Then it just takes a little light filing to allow it to fit into the pin slots.

And for a handle I found a pin vice (to the left in the photo) which worked perfectly. I leaving a loop in one end of the wire ensures it doesn't slip around at all in the handle.



Works a treat

excellent idea, and thanks for sharing...i will most definitely be making one

another thing that works well is guitar strings
after restringing my guitar there is plenty of it to work with...

i need to make me one of those =) i have a medeco that has been sitting here, cuz i cant rotate the pins i will have to give it a go

Sweet
