>Happy New Year All. > I have a WonderWand and gave it up in favor of my Yamaha hammer >because the wand flexes enough to be distracting. It is a good idea and >would work wonders if the shaft had been hardened to reduce flex. > I use the Yamaha almost exclusively except in stringing and some >other limited applications where I need a different tip or hammer. > Newton J. Hunt > nhunt@gandalf.rutgers.edu I, too, have a Yamaha tuning lever and like it; however, I would like to have the flexibility of changing heads & tips from time to time, in order to improve control. I have a couple of Schaff hammers & they're okay, but I like the way the Hale tips fit the pins. Since Hale levers are no longer available, anyone know of a good extension lever they can recommend? I have an old Hale, but the handle has crashed & my feeble attempts at turning a new one leave a great deal to be desired. Season's Greetings to you all!
