<DIV><FONT face=Arial>That's interesting. I imagine you can make =
any
handle for a tuning lever if a person wanted to . The schaff lever =
I have
now is great. I can make smal smal movements with it. The =
practice
pianos I do on occasion, often have loose tuning pins, and having a =
lever where
I can make smal movements helps. Have a great night. =
