Rosewood tuning lever/hammer

[James Grebe]

INHO, the lighter the tuning hammer , the better to feel all that is going
on in the pin.  Lighter does not mean weaker.  I have made hammer from the
exotics and the lighter.  My own personal favorite is made from poplar with
an apple ball formed into the end.  Just my HO..
