When I've had to tune a Baldwin, once or thrice, I've always feared actually breaking a pin,
cause I've had to pull so hard.  What are the possibilities of that happening ??

  Les, I know what you mean. I still have my home made tuning levers and I still use them sometimes, BUT, for thight pins, good enough just isn't enough.

  I carry four hammers, two home-made.  I have maybe $20 apiece in them. If they're good enough for symphony and a bunch of other stuff, I'll keep them.  les

    Since I've started using Fujan, these tune easier. Do I like extra-hard tuning pins ? No way. I even suspect that pins that are too tight can hurt a pinblock.
