Hi David, I'm just wondering here if you have tried the new tuning levers that are on the market these days. I'm thinking "Fujan" or "Charles Faulk".You might be surprised of their efficiency in feeling the pins and producing a sometimes more stable tuning in a shorter period of time.These tools were introduced to help us work smarter.Are you using one of these?
