I play a 12 string guitar, whenever I change the strings, it seems I always poke a few straight into my fingers! One day, I though, small gauge stainless wire, hmm, and saved the extra length I clipped off to clean out small passages in carbs and other things. They work great, like tip cleaners for an oxy-acetylene torch but even smaller! You might get some pieces from a friend who plays guitar and see if that helps!
