---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Matt, Welcome aboard. Tuning levers are pretty personal. I used a straight extension lever made by Hale until the shaft threads finally stripped and broke after around 25 years. I think it must have been at least 15 years old when my first tuning teacher gave it to me. It's replacement is a Renner/Bowman, which I really like. The weight is nicely distributed, and it has a semi-ball on the end, which is easy on the palm. I also have a mini-extension lever like Alan Barnard, which I called into play when my old Hale gave out. I was praying that it would hold out for the week I had to use it until my Renner arrived. It was movin' and creakin' all over the place. Not recommended for full-time usage. Enjoy the search! You'll find something at the convention. Advice: take a finite amount of cash, and no credit cards...:-) Dave Stahl In a message dated 12/29/04 6:51:32 AM Pacific Standard Time, requiem31@hotmail.com writes: > Greetings fellow Piano Techs, > > This is my first post to the list serve so please be merciful. :-) > > I will be purchasing a new tuning hammer soon as my old lever has seen quite > a bit of wear and tear.
