Your tuning hammer will not fit the tuning pins. You will need to
order a harpsichord lever if the instrument doesn't come with one.
A T-hammer is recommended. I got the lever, but after having done
it, I wish I got the T version, low torque. Plan on going through
quickly a few times if it has been a while since it has been tuned.
The structure gives and moves around while you are tuning up, hooray for
cast iron plates. <br><br>

I received a call to tune a<b> </b>Harpsichord (dual manual keyboard
Sperrhake Passau made in Germany). <br><br>
My First, will my tuning hammer fit the pins? if not I'll order the
correct tip or hammer. <br><br>
Any advice is greatly appreciated and thanks to ALL who responded to my
post regarding Bluthner tunings. <br><br>
Thanks, <br><br>
