<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi John,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You mentioned a hammer with the ball on the =
end.
When I was doing some tuning training recently, the instructor had one =
the
Joe Goss sells. I think thy're pretty impressive =
levers. The
one you mention is a different brand, but similar in that it has a ball =
on the
end. It's amazing how many types of tuning levers are available =
out there.
Ilove the feel of the Schaff 21, but I need to order a longer head for =
when I do
grands, the head it came with, a 13g I believe, it hits the rim up =
toward the
trebble section, and one has to get in a crink to tune with it.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>ps. I'm curious, how did you attach the wood =
ball from
Hobby Lobby to your lever?</FONT></DIV>
