It's a nice story about Jeffrey Beecher's Rogeri, with some sound clips. In the photo, he seems to have an interesting device that provides an angled end-pin. Anyone have an idea where that came from? My guess is that it's probably a custom job to avoid drilling into a priceless instrument.

Anyway, enjoy!

I'm sure you're correct about the endpin device.

Probably from Mario Lamarre, as the extension is unmistakably Marios work.
