Faulk Hammers Not 4 Sale

[Kent Swafford]

Duct tape?  8^)   I'm a big believer in  gaff tape (the stuff they  
use on theater stages), but not for tuning levers.

Maybe you are thinking of Mitch Kiel's using bicycle handlebar tape  
on a tuning lever handle.

I've come to appreciate the fact that different tuners are  
comfortable with different shapes of tuning lever handles. I'm very  
grateful to Charles Faulk who was willing to follow my specs as I  
honed in on my most desired shape. All my old levers are now unusable  
because they feel absolutely wrong in my hand.
