What I like so much about my Fujan lever (and it sounds like the same holds true for the Faulk CF under discussion) is that it is much stiffer than any lever I had previously used AND it is also lighter. Those are two huge pluses in my book. Stiffer means more control and (far) less wasted energy between my muscles and the tuning pin. Lighter means packin' a whole lot less "weight" moving from pin to pin (which we only do about a thousand times a day, give or take). These carbon fiber tuning levers represent a major step forward in the technology with which we work. And they're pretty sexy looking to boot! Also, I second David Anderson's observation that moving the lever towards twelve o'clock when tuning on the bass side of a strut is not problem.

As I said before, deflection does play a part in how we feel the pin moving, but it's probably less important than we would first think. (Assuming a good lever -- not el cheapo.) In my own anecdotal experience with different levers, added mass is sometimes helpful. It is more tiring after a long day of tuning, however. -- JF ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
