[pianotech] Tight Tuning Pins

[Farrell]

How much more than 100 lbs.? 120 lbs. of torque is not bad.

But on really tight pins, I use the heavy impact hammer sold by Schaff (I think) for pitch raises - fast and really saves my shoulder, etc. For fine tuning I use my regular lever (Keith Bowman). However, if I was willing to spend the dough, I'd buy one of Dean Reyburn's lightweight impact levers - I've tried them out at a converence and really like them.

        What is a good technique, or a better hammer to use on pins with 100+ lbs of torque???
