When I've had to tune a Baldwin, once or thrice, I've always feared actually breaking a pin, cause I've had to pull so hard. What are the possibilities of that happening ??

I still have my home made tuning levers and I still use them sometimes, BUT, for thight pins, good enough just isn't enough. Marcel Les Wrote I carry four hammers, two home-made. I have maybe $20 apiece in them. If they're good enough for symphony and a bunch of other stuff, I'll keep them. les Marcel Carey wrote: What kind of tuning lever are you using? Since I've started using Fujan, these tune easier. Do I like extra-hard tuning pins ? No way. I even suspect that pins that are too tight can hurt a pinblock.
