Impact tuning hammer

[ROGERIO OLIVEIRA DA CUNHA]

Thanks Keith. After this information I will buy one to me. And about Tuners
Supply Company, one of the best books I found with general information was
REPAIR AND REGULATING OF PIANOS by Tuners Supply Co. I think that the PTG
could reprint this book printed in 1977. Thanks.
