Impact LEVERS, was: Impact hammers

[Don]

Hi David,

No. It was long before the Reyburn impact lever was even thought of.

The Schaff lever is not well balanced--I got one and used it for a
year--finally went back to my Mehaffy impact lever and was much much
happier. The sliding weight is a nice idea but in practise I found that I
kept the weight in the max position all the time. I sold the lever to a
Calgary tuner who tried it--and hated it--who sold it to another Calgary
tuner. 

I'd still love to get a T impact lever with dual sliding weights--one with
about a 5 inch shaft to miss the plate struts *and* the case ends on a
grand piano. *grin* Mike Swendson here I come!
