I'll weigh in here....I've been using a prototype like yours, Kent, from Charles Faulk, for about the same amount of time; I had exclusively used his titanium lever for the 3 years prior; I immediately fell even more in love with the carbon lever, and refused to send it back. <g> I highly, highly recommend the carbon fiber lever; it's like touching your lover's face with surgical gloves on, rather than the work gloves of normal levers---the pin sensitivity is just off the charts. > http://www.faulkpiano.com/CFTuningHammer/ BTW I also used Dale Erwin's Fujan lever to tune at Disney Hall a couple months ago---and I loved it too. I just think Charlie's tool looks prettier, and I like it a little better....a carbon fiber lever should be your next "big" tool purchase.
