easier,there is a special tuning hammer with extra long handle deigned =
for that task.I had one and it made this job a lot easier.But,a few =
years ago I gave it to Joe Garrett and ,maybe,he can describe it better =
to other square piano enthusiasts..He told me that it makes tuning =
square grands a lot easier."
Great Holidays to everyone! Isaac =20

Isaac et al,
Just to set the record straight: Yes, Isaac gave me this "special tuning =
hammer", and I am most greatful! Thanks, Isaac! However, I tried the =
"lever" once! I found that the added length, (Overall length is =
26"!!!!), complicates the "fine tuning"; TOO MUCH LEVERAGE!<G> This is =
not the lever I would recommend! The one item that came with the =
"special tuning hammer" was the "Double Head/Tip". This item is =
tatamount to easing the tuning debacle in Square Grands w/oblong pins! I =
wish there were some supplier that would make these available, again!!!! =
I use that head/tip a lot! For that, again, I say thanks Isaac! (My =
original one had just been stolen, when Isaac, so graciously, gave this =
one. It saved my Square Grand Tuning business!) One final thing: If you =
are between 5'8" and 6'2", you will have little problem with the tuning =
of Square Grands. If your stature is outside of these perameters, then =
you will have to make many "adjustments"!<G>
Best Regards & Merry Christmas to all!
