Tuning Steinway Verticals

[Otto Keyes]

And, yes, the impact hammer is the way to go on these things.  If you've
never used one, you really do have very good control with minimal effort &
stress on your body.

If you still can't get it in tune, even with an impact hammer, this hammer
affords the proper mass and density to inflict some serious damage on the
rotten pso.
