<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll second the recommendation for Steve Fujan's
levers. I'm just learning how to tune</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> and the stiffnes of these levers is making
it much easier to control the movement of the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>pin. I use (so far) two different tubes. The six
inch tube is nice on the junker with pins that </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>aren't incredibly tight. The nine inch tube is
great on the tight tuning pins on the Pearl River.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also have one of those New Octave Global
hammers - I consider it and the Randy Potter</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>apprentice lever to be emergency equipment. The
flex in the steel really bothers me.</FONT></DIV>
