Our choir bought a piano for the son or our organist who is promising, and lives with Cystic Fibrosis- so a great bunch of 20 people or so pooled resources, and ended up with a Falcone................................. Well, it was sooooooooooo far ahead of the Whitney spinet our organist had wrecked 30 years ago, which was what he had to play on. The pins were so tight on the Falcone I feared some would break. I saw some LOVELY new impact hammers that Dean Rayburn is selling, at about $250 more than I could afford, so I got the Schaff one for $75, and did some altering. Removed a little weight of the top, and then made a nice padded handle. The piano averaged 17.7 cents flat (TuneLab 2.0), and after I yanked the thing up with the impact hammer, I actually had a fair number of "free" strings in the second pass. Letting the banging do the work worked nicely. I also tuned our horrilbe Samick with it, not making a second pass, and the next day there were only a couple of strings which had strayed. My total experience is limited to three pianos, but I certainly think the tool has a valid place. It's convinced me it's marvelous at least for tight pins and large pitch raises. les barllett ---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
