Hmm, does it matter which poison one uses as long as the piano stays in
tune?

Have I actually been ruining the tuning pins on pianos for the last 20 or so
years using a Hale, extension hammer (extended), short tip, short 15 degree
head?  (My first few years with a Schaff that got stolen.)

Does hammer technique make any difference?
