Tuning Lever for a Beginner

[Mark Purney]

I appreciate all the helpful comments from everyone, thank you.

I hadn't considered the possibility that a better lever might improve 
and/or expedite the learning process. If that is really true, then I 
could more easily justify starting out with the Fujan. Do you have the 
15 degree head?

I do consider it a huge privilege to be learning from Jim, and I'm going 
to give it my best effort as a student.
