Fujan lever/lightweight tuning levers

[Cy Shuster]

You may be thinking of Michael Calahan's titanium lever?  I have the same, and its balance is also a big feature for me, right at the mid-point of the lever.  The ones that are tip-heavy are tiring for me, and hard to move from pin-to-pin on grands.

  I have a McLanahan (I think...?...I can never remember the Irish name) lever that I bought at the national institute 3 years ago in Chicago.  It's not light, but so well-balanced that I feel the same way: it's easier to move from pin to pin because all the weight is in the handle.  My cheapie antique lever is the same, though...being a light-weight hammer it's also easier to move from pin to pin than my Schaff.

  I'm not posing any of this as anti-Fujan propaganda.  I fully intend to, at some point, try out the Fujan.  And I fully expect to like it.  That's why I'm not trying it out now.  I don't have $180 to spend right now.  (I don't know about your area, but July 4th is the bottom of the cycle here in Chicago.  Peaks at Christmas time, wanes till July 4th.)
