I use a Yamaha hammer with some #2 tip I got somewhere years ago. It was considerably stiffer than my old extension lever and i don't seem to notice any fatigue from the weight. I get little enough work out that I'm not looking to reduce what my "heavy" Yamaha hammer gives me. I never change tips, either. I carry a short thin wall tip on the extension part of an extension lever that I use for the rare pins my Yamaha hammer won't reach or fit. Dean _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of John Ross I wouldn't like a hammer that required changing tips all the time. I have a Tuners Supply hammer with a #2 tip, and can't remember the last time I changed a tip. I do have a thin walled tip on a tip adaptor that has a square head for the odd too close pin situation. I have another Tuners Supply hammer with the long tip for grands. I have used them both since the late 70's. I tried other hammers briefly at the conventions, but never felt the need to upgrade.
