I knew that was going to happen when I wrote the word comparable!!!

Any two items are comparable in the literal sense of the word. Even apples and oranges are comparable despite the old adage. These NEWOCTAVE GLOBAL Tuning Hammers may compare unfavorably to a Hale, yet they are certainly comparable. Tom Sivak Larry Trischetta <ltpianoman at adelphia.net> wrote: Ed & Tom... Thanks for the advise. The handles are supposedly nylon, but the description also says they're comparable to Hale. So that means the handle is NOT nylon, by deductive reasoning!!

But I did notice that the handles on these tuning levers are plastic. That makes it less of a bargain. How much does a plastic-handled lever cost from Schaff or Pianotek? Not that much more, I would wager. Tom Sivak Chicago Larry Trischetta <ltpianoman at adelphia.net> wrote: Hi... Does anybody know the quality of NEWOCTAVE GLOBAL products? I saw an extension hammer for $45. Seems cheap for a good hammer but you never know. The website is www.kspiano.com Thanks for the help.
