Hi Matt
  Welcome aboard
  I use a extension Hammer made /sold by pianotec   & also a Yamaha hammer 
with a long tip and 5 degree head. It has a 2 tip  & I never change it. Same 
with the other. I find some pianos pin fit  & my physiology work welll with one 
or the other hammer depending on  pin fit , ease of rendering & how I'm feeling 
that day. I love the  subjective!

Greetings fellow Piano Techs,

This is my first post to the list  serve so please be merciful. :-)

I will be purchasing a new tuning  hammer soon as my old lever has seen quite 
a bit of wear and tear. I am  curious as to the different styles of hammers 
you all use and if you have  any recommendations as to tuning levers that 
have stood the test of time  and ones that may not be quite as good as they 
were advertised.
Do some  of you carry multiple tuning hammers depending on the piano you come 
 
across? Say, a heavier hammer for pitch raises and then switch to a  lighter 
one for more precision work?

Thanks,

Matt Lavender
