Most Advanced Available."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Shouldn't that be "Tuning Hammer"?
Sorry... I just wondered about the hammer offered by this fellow. I
don't recall anyone bringing up his name or lever when we have discussed carbon
fiber in the past. A short and careless search of the archives yielded
nothing as far as Mayer Gluzman is concerned. I just noticed his site at
the top of the Google rankings yesterday. He didn't appear last
week. When I asked my wife what the levers looked like, she seemed to
think one of them looked a lot like a Fujan and the other had a "more
conventional handle". I just like to keep myself in the know on what's
going on in the world... </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2: I got my Faulk carbon fiber tuning hammer
yesterday. Its a beautiful tool! I had the pleasure of trying it out
on 2 pianos yesterday afternoon. I tuned mostly with the Faulk and near
the end of the tunings did a little switching between my 3 levers(Faulk carbon
fiber, Jahn and Watanabe.) After tuning almost the hole piano with the
Faulk the other levers had a strange and foreign feel to me. I plan on
trying it for a week and reposting a firm opinion after using it for
several pianos. I can tell you that unless something changes drastically
this will be my number one hammer. The only complaint that I have is I
wish it had a head extension. The length of the Watanabe head and tip feel
good to me. Its easy to clear plate struts where the Faulk will not on
those last few unisons. This can be solved by getting longer (2 inch
Watanabe or 1 5/8s Jahn tips) which is what I'm going to do. I am
fond of the 1 inch standard tips and only have the 1 5/8 narrow wall Jahn, so I
might be out of commission if I run into a piano with number 3 pins before I get
the new tips. Plus I must decide if I want the Jahn or Watanabe
tips! That's how it goes I guess..</FONT></DIV>
