How much of a factor is weight really? How does one best balance the contradictory characteristics of a "good" tuning lever? I want it to be a joy to work with, i.e. I want it to be light, ergonomic, and, not least, beautiful to hold and to behold. How schizophrenic is it to want a light tuning lever made with an ebony handle? Instead of having a carbon fiber shaft with a heavy hardwood ball-end handle on the end, should I perhaps go with spruce?? It would be kind of fitting, maybe, but.... I suppose it all boils down to personal preference. But that has to be based on experience of tuning a handful of pianos with any particular tool, I would think. Any suggestions for me before I commit the big bucks?
