<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2529704, member: 71723"]Mr. Books above is correct, as usual. I'll make an educated guess on the specific cause of the damage. It looks to me like a pair of wire cutters or "dykes" with a slightly loose fulcrum point. The wedge-shaped displacement in opposite directions on nearby yet not quite adjacent edge reeds is what tells me this. Remember, while harder than gold, 90% silver is still soft compared to some metals, and can easily be significantly marred using some modest hand tools. You don't need to resort to exotic tool materials.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
