<DIV><SPAN class=312312904-13022007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It's
smaller and a little lighter. I don't have the carbon fiber one, but I did
modify one of my aluminum tip. I got a 24.5mm aluminum tubing (bicycle seat
post) and glued it inside the tip. I then used the rubber ball that Pianoforte
Supply sell at the other end. I didn't feel any bending and I can see more
specially with uprights. So, I ended up with 2 tuning
levers.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
