  Dear List,

  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.

  Matthew Lavender
