(of course, I am.) I carry two Tuning Levers in my Tuning Kit.One, is a

have several tip/head combinations. Also a light weight Ford Extension =
Lever,
fitted with a Thin Wall Tip. I have Two in my =
Gorilla Kit.
One is the Hale Speed Hammer for those REALLY Tight tuning pin =
beasts. The
other is a Shortie for getting into really "tight" =
tuning
situations, or just giving my clients a =
"giggle".<G> And I
have a special kit, which I call my Antiques Kit, which has Seven =
different
Tuning Levers/Hammers, all of which are special, authentic Antique =
Hammers with
all kinds of weird tips/heads configurations. Lastly, I have my
"converted" "Student Hammer", that is in my =
Stringing Kit.
It is light and has many different one piece head/tip combinations. Oh, =
I

I
forget my Tuning Kit. Or I'm at a concert and the piano needs touching =

THE tuner is no where to be found. :-(</span></font></p>
