I read in a book pearwood is used in small action parts but which parts the book didn't say.
Yes Marshall, lifelong learning is the key to everyone's success.

Hey Joe,
Pear wood is sometimes used in piano keys as I read a substitute for ebony.  I've also seen it advertised as a tuning lever handle material.  
 
I also wanted to mention that I'd like to be that fourth tuner that I mentioned.  I'd love to become an RPT eventually.  I was thinking that becoming an RPT is really a certification.  Electricians, plumbers carpenters have their own certifications.  I think it's a good thing to become an RPT.  I'm going to strive toward that mark and once I've met it, keep moving forward.
Marshall
