[pianotech] Lever position for hand

[Terry Farrell]

I would say that mine is fairly close to picture #3 - closer to that  
than #1, and much closer to #3 than #2. #2 seems hard for me to  
imagine using. You say you tune left-handed - who's hand is that  
pictured in #1?

Love that lever. Looks a lot like mine. In fact, I'd accuse you of  
stealing my lever if I had not just used it on a piano.....  ;-)
