Or is it the hand that wiggles the tuning = lever? I have minimized hand/arm/elbow/shoulder jarring by using a key whacker = (two piano hammers taped together) and an impact hammer on verticals for = pitch raising. Terry Farrell I am contemplating getting some type of support brace for my pounding = hand and was wondering what any of you 4-5 tunings-a-day people use to = reduce wear and tear on your hand(s). One way I've been able to reduce pounding damage is by learning to = tune with my opposite hand: not only does it reduce stress on my limbs = but it also increases my tuning speed so that I don't have to shift = position at either end of a grand; I just switch hands if I need to. = I've also gotten a more ergonomic tuning lever. Even by doing that I still feel discomfort in my hands, especially = after a heavy day of tuning. If anyone has any suggestions, a brand name = to try or if it's better to see a specialist about this sort of thing, I = eagerly await your post.
