I don't quite understand sitting at the back to tune...   As I remember, your hammer did fit on the pins on the back but they turned normally to someone tuning from the front...?    They had the wire coming around the opposite side of the tuning pin so the pin was turned counter-clockwise to bring up the tension....?   Or was that all a weird dream?
