I recognize that this is a small community but wanted to share my experience with some parts:
1. Clavinet tuning key (from clavinet.com) - really great and handy idea BUT the interior Phillips head broke off after less than an hour use as I was replacing strings. This should have been made of a more durable plastic or better yet metal. Very disappointed in the quality.
2. Clavinet alignment template (from clavinet.com) - awesome idea and definitely saved me a lot of frustration BUT again why not make it out of durable plastic or metal. I was expecting more than thin cardboard.
3. Clavinet yarn weaver (from clavinet.com) works just like the video :)
4. Clavinet strings (from ken rich) really nicely packaged and easy to install. I am very happy with the sound but I have not AB'd them to others except old strings. Again happy :)
5. Hammer tips (from ken rich) easily the best $$ I have ever spent on a clavinet. Again I am not sure how they compare to others but I am very happy. :)  :)
