<WBR>Cy<br>   The watanabe tip seems to be a bit floppy & I returned one to get something that fit better. I heard one other critiques like this as well.  In fairness, tune an entire piano to get a true taste of this device.<br>   Dale<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_e4fd24e9-27a7-43fa-8179-a07f3be4dd4d> <div><FONT size=2>While I'm greatly pleased that engineers like Steve Fujan are tackling the problems we face every day (using actual science rather than speculation!), I was surprised to find that I didn't like his lever when I tried it in Kansas City.  I didn't get to tune -- it was just a pin in a board -- but I didn't like the feel of the grip, or the movement of the pin.  I tuned with a lot of different levers at NBSS.</FONT></div> <div><FONT size=2></FONT> </div> <div><FONT size=2>Has anyone else found a learning curve with this lever?</FONT></div> <div><FONT size=2></FONT> </div> <div><FONT size=2>--Cy--</FONT></div> <div><FONT size=2>ABQ, NM</FONT></div> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </div> <div><br> </div> <br> <FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">  Carbon fiber fans...Mark,Barb, Don.....</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif"><br>   It's great to see these becoming the wave of the future. we bought Dennis one of the Fujans upon graduation from North Bennett st. When his tools were stolen last year it was the very first thing he ordered. <br> <br>   I typically use the 15 degree head with a short tip. I also purchased  another complete  head piece with a 5 degree angle and attached a longer tip via a tip extension in the event  tall struts become an issue .Also this set up is handy on  some uprights where the lid clearance is an issue. All this is a rare occasion.  I do like the way the different angle feels on some pinss well. I find it an easy quick change to simply screw the head on & off as opposed to changing tips. I love this tool & enjoy tuning so much more than before.  There's nothing like good equipment.<br>   Dale</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></div> <div id='u8CADFDDCBD2E06B-1688-6169' class='aol_ad_footer'><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Looking for spoilers and reviews on the new TV season? <A title="http://television.aol.com/feature/fall_tv?ncid=aoletv00050000000037" href="http://television.aol.com/feature/fall_tv?ncid=aoletv00050000000037" target="_blank">Get AOL's ultimate guide to fall TV</A>.</FONT> </div>
