Cy, I tune a Zuckerman and a Hyman weekly (at minimum), both with "T" handle tools. For me, the lever style wrenches provide too much leverage. I feel that I have more control directly over the pin (and the torque is so low, added leverage is not needed).

I've only tried to tune one a few times, and it feels about like an acoustic guitar. I struggle to make fine movements, because I'm not used to that open-a-tube-of-toothpaste motion, for one, and I don't have a stable platform to move against. The last one I tried had a tiny T-handle; I was wishing for a more familiar lever. Any particular ergonomic tips? --Cy-- Cy Shuster, RPT Albuquerque, NM www.shusterpiano.com www.facebook.com/shusterpiano -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
