To a HALE!!!! They are comparable in the literal sense of the word, in that you can compare them to a Hale, albeit in an unfavorable light. Sheeesh!

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?
