Found a perfect tool for tweeking a Generation fipple

[AnnaDMartinez]

And I didn’t even have to take it apart! I found a square stone manicure stick that I bought at a beauty supply house, very fine stone that manicurists used to push back a cutical. It’s very mildly abrasive, the perfect size to fit in the sound hole and knocked those little suckers right off! Made it a bit dusty the first time I tried to blow, but was great after I washed the thing! And it had a couple of 45 degree angles, too! Don’t really ahve any fingernails, so it goes into my Whistle care kit, along wiht a Chinese style chopstick and a couple of 4x4 gauze pads to clean up with after a slobber crisis.
