know what I used, and rather shame-faced, I showed him my home-built ones with
my 15 degree heads......... His response, "These are really

Re: CF carbon fiber lever<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I finally gave up my 43 year old tuning hammer and have
been using a Jahn top of the line tuning lever for about a year and a
half now. It wasn't because I'm frugal, It's just that I never thought
about changing it. The stiffness compared to my old hammer made it so much
easier to feel and set the pin. Now I reading all this talk about
the Fujan and Faulk and how much stiffer they are. Are they $200 to $300
better? and if so, which one is better? It was a big change from my old hammer.
Would it be that much of a change again with these?</FONT></DIV>
