[pianotech] Schaff carbon fiber tuning lever

[Claude Harding]

I agree. The potential problem is at the tip.  This new Schaff lever looks
nice, but the "weakness" at the handle/head joint still remains.

That is where three shafts have eventually broken on my extension tuning
lever.  Retaining this feature does allow it to accept their other

lever accessories, which make sense.

  The unitized construction of the head and handle on my Charles Faulk lever
avoids the potential problem at that spot.

Others do the same.  By the way, I REALLY love my Faulk tuning lever; beauty
and function, a joy to use.

  Kudos, though, to Schaff for offering a new option to us, their customers.

In my opinion, it's a cheaper, knock-off version of the Fujan.  Less stiff,
less worthwhile.

I see that Schaff are now selling a carbon fiber lever. The tube looks like
the same stuff Steve Fujan uses for him.  Not sure if the tip would be quite
as firm as the Fujan.

Best regards,

David.
