Subject: Time: 4:23 PM OFFICE MEMO Re tuning hammer tips Date: 2/24/96 Good tips are made with good tool steel and should not wear out quickly. My original tips are over 25 years old and still going strong (mostly Hale). I have bought additional tips throughout the years for students here at Oberlin who have studied tuning with me, though not recently. We found that old Hale tips and new Ford tips fit our Steinways best. However, these tips did not fit as well on older style Japanese tuning pins. Obviously the dimensions on the various pins and tips are not necessarily compatible. Ken Sloane, Oberlin Conservatory
