NEWOCTAVE GLOBAL Tuning hammers....

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Thank you,
That was one of the old more flexible models. Model BB <G>
The new AAA is much stiffer. It is the model that I showed bill and he promptly showed me that the head was loose. I took care of the problem with a little 'locktite' and have used it the last 3 years without problems.
Also took care of the weakness in the design and will have the new AAA online sometime this summer.

  Hi Joe,
  I've seen one of your hammers and they are made really well.

    If the flex and cost bothers you, check out my hammers.

      I'll second the recommendation for Steve Fujan's levers. I'm just learning how to tune
       and the stiffnes of these levers is making it much easier to control the movement of the
      pin. I use (so far) two different tubes. The six inch tube is nice on the junker with pins that 
      aren't incredibly tight. The nine inch tube is great on the tight tuning pins on the Pearl River.
      I also have one of those New Octave Global hammers - I consider it and the Randy Potter
      apprentice lever to be emergency equipment. The flex in the steel really bothers me.
