Over past couple of years on the listserv there has been a thread concerning Ball End Tuning Hammers. There were discussions about making them or where they could be purchased. Ford used to sell the wooden handled type. I noticed in the April 1996 Journal on page 30 a picture of the owners of Beethoven Piano Supply (they bought Ford Supply). On the table in front of the owners are tuning hammers. Two of the models are Ball End Tuning Hammers. It appears there is a place they can be purchased again. Tim Coates
