Hi Gary,
Wouldn't a longer head or tip be best for grands especially in the strut =
area?  Also, what about a 15 degrees.  Unless it's a typo, I'm not sure =
but the R andy Potter course recommends 17 degrees.  Just some beginning =
observations on my part. =20
Marshall
ps. I'm not sure why, but I cannot get the split mute to cooperate.

  Hi Charles

  Should you decide seriously to learn the piano trade, the first thing =
would be to learn about the piano. I recommend the Arthur Reblitz book =
on Piano Technology. Work on cheap pianos first. Get a good set of =
tools- no gooseneck tuning hammer. A good hammer from Schaff Piano =
Supply should work fine. Get it with a 1" head at 10 degrees and a  =
number 3 tip. Use a medium thick wool temperament strip to mute the =
middle area and 6 of the 1/2"X 1/2" rubber mutes w/o handles, and a =
split mute with flat steel handle for the treble and an English steel =
A440 tuning fork.=20



  I wish you the best
