Impact tuning hammers

[Bill Costanzo]

Hi Tom

 

I’ve used the Keyes lever for over 15yrs on all vertical pianos.  I always
leave the weight at the farthest position even when tuning pianos with loose
pins.

One thing that you’ll want to do though is to put some sort of cushion grip
on that metal shank (I use a rubber golf grip). 

I like the lever just fine, but if I’m doing a lot of tunings, I also wear a
glove which supports my wrist so that I don’t get sore.

Dear List,

I am looking at impact tuning hammers.  The only ones I`ve found so far are
2 that Schaff offers and the ones available from Reyburn.

I am intrigued by the Keyes lever (Schaff) because it has an adjustable
weight to control the effect based on tuning pin torque.

Are there any more available an/or comments?

thanks,

Tom Carpenter
