Kurt,

The beauty of what you have expressed is synchronous
   with my experience as well.
Man, when a person finds those combinations,
   it's like the heavens open to turning pins again.

The truly big plus is I never realized how heavy the old type levers,
   which I dearly loved, were. Lifting them and moving them and setting them down again,
   200 + times on grands. 30 + years or more. Like a millstone around the neck.

I was truly bored with tuning pianos, but didn't know why.
The Fujan lever infused new life into by being,
   and has given me a few more years of tuning pianos,
   the activity that I truly know best to do.

The expenditure was a no brainer.

Thank you for sharing, Kurt.

Keith
