<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Don't forget that the Schaff lever is a good one. the 21c
I believe. It allows one to make small nothces and when putting unisons in
it's great. A little tap or two on the handle and the sweet spot as some call it
is in.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>ps. Im sure there are other good levers out ther which I'd
like to try. Don't forget Joe Goss's lever is a good one too. It's well
built.</FONT></DIV>
