Piano Tuna Flashlight
By Bryan Cather

While attending the Piano Tuning & Repair School, I kept a "piano tuna"
in my toolbox.  This was actually a small toy flashlight made in the
shape of a fish.  The bulb was in the fish's mouth, and it lit up when
you squeezed it's sides.

It was great for peering around in action cavities on grands, and
for peering around in general.  Eventually the battery went out and
I couldn't figure out how to replace it, so I tossed it in the trash.

Remember: You can tuna piano, but you can't tuna fish!
