<HTML>Terry, I ordered a lever from Schaff.  Since I didn't have my catalogue wi= th me at the time, I did it sight unseen.  Now that I'm leafing through= the catalogue, I can't even find it.  I do see tips in there, though, = which may be a better bet with an extension lever. I'll keep you posted on this.  Should be interesting.

After tuning the first one of these, I made myself a square-grand tuning= lever. It is basically a long handled lever with a pivot at the end and ano= ther foot-long extension on the pivot - the extension can pivot 360 degrees.= I sit at the bench for the whole tuning - no sore back from tuning! Remove the lid. Don't even bother trying to tune it with lid attached. Tell us about it after you've done it. I haven't seen one that was in ve= ry good condition. But from what I can tell, they seem to really have a very= pleasant warm tone.</BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
