Hello Robin
Superman here! Though I must confess that if the pin in that grand is =
really tight I do use the lever. Being Left Handed is useful in that =
respect 'cos the lever I have has a collection of heads and one of them =
is ver long. This is the one I use (if truly necessary..) on a grand - =
and the handle sticks out over the keys - not over the strings! That's =
my way anyhow!
Regards from Sunny Sussex - just returned from a week in our Norfolk =
seas-side hide-away...

         I always use a 'T' hammer for grands and a lever for =
uprights.... Michael..the only way you could move a pin with a T hammers =
on some grands is to... actually...."bend the pin" with the T =
hammer...Unless you are superman in disguise ??
