I guess everyone must find what works for him or herself but when I first picked up my Wonder Wand from Charles Huether, I liked it and used one for over 10 years. Then I bought one from Joe Goss. It took very little time to get used to and I noticed that I could get more 1 stroke corrections out of it than with my previous hammer. A few days ago, I was working with my apprentice to whom I had given my old Wonder Wand. When I made a correction with my old tuning hammer which I had used to tune thousands of pianos, it felt so awkward and inferior. Could I say more? I used the 1 stroke correction idea as a premise to reduce my tuning time and did so. Joe Goss' hammer is solid and nicely balanced. It is the transfer time from one pin to another and the time it takes to get a string into tune which is parallel to the number of strokes it takes. The fewer strokes, the faster the tuning. There may also be something enigmatic about bringing a piano into tune quickly and in a pattern which introduces the new tension more evenly. In other words, the quicker it is done, the better it is, at least in many cases but certainly not all. I highly recommend Joe Goss' tools. Happy New Year!
