Schaff Tuning Levers - slap tuning

[Isaac sur Noos]

Why not, but is an impact hammer manageable like a normal one also
(for fine setting) with a good handle

What I've find when getting used to the slap, is that I often dose
right so one is enough, for all the medium part of the piano (I avoid
it in the bass).
How do you check the pin setting with an impact hammer ?
What model do you use ?

Thanks
