Hi Dave, Learn to tune with either hand and vary your work. One piano right hand impact next piano left hand impact, next right hand smooth pull and then left hand smooth pull. Do get a pounder--I have more trouble with my pounding causing irritation than from using my impact lever--and I tend to impact 100% of the time. Impact levers do help.
