size=3>Hi,Tom! To make the task of tuning square grands =
easier,there is a
special tuning hammer with extra long handle deigned for that task.I had =
one and
it made this job a lot easier.But,a few years ago I gave it to Joe =
Garrett and
,maybe,he can describe it better to other square piano enthusiasts..He =
told me
that it makes tuning square grands a lot easier."</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just to set the record straight: Yes, =
Isaac gave me
this "special tuning hammer", and I am most greatful! Thanks, Isaac! =
However, I
tried the "lever" once! I found that the added length, (Overall length =
is
26"!!!!), complicates the "fine tuning"; TOO MUCH LEVERAGE!<G> =
This is not
the lever I would recommend! The one item that came with the "special =
tuning
hammer" was the "Double Head/Tip". This item is tatamount to easing the =
tuning
debacle in Square Grands w/oblong pins! I wish there were some supplier =
that
would make these available, again!!!! I use that head/tip a lot! For =
that,
again, I say thanks Isaac! (My original one had just been stolen, when =
Isaac, so
graciously, gave this one. It saved my Square Grand Tuning business!) =
One final
thing: If you are between 5'8" and 6'2", you will have little problem =
with the
tuning of Square Grands. If your stature is outside of these perameters, =
then
you will have to make many "adjustments"!<G></FONT></DIV>
