<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2>Noticed the same thing, w=
hat? Less broken strings with impact lever? I use my impact lever for p=
itch raises on pianos with tight tuning pins. I've had a couple st=
rings break while using the impact lever. Doesn't seem to me =
to be much difference (except of course my shoulder doesn't kill me whe=
n I use the impact lever).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing that will help =
curb string breakage, IMO, is the use of an Impact Tuning Hammer. It's =
SOP for me. Of course, this applies to Uprights only. I tried same on a=
Grand once.....Yikes! Not a happy experience.</FONT></DIV>
