Harpsichords: Rectangular T-pins?

[Dean L. Reyburn, RPT]

My thanks to all who helped me with the harpsichord question.  Thanks
especially to Lew Surdam who says:

>I have a harpsichord tuning lever for "antique tuning pins" which we
>bought from David Wey of Zuckermann Harpsichords in Stonington, CT. The
>tel: (203) 535-1715. I have not been in touch with this firm for many
>years so I can't be certain if they are still around.

I *was* able to order a rectangular lever from Zuckerman for $18 + s/h.
Yes they are still alive and well, they even have an email address!

I just gotta repeat the funniest thing I've heard in a week from Newton
Hunt:

>I am using a harp tuning key and in a real pinch you can use your let-off
>regulator with a handle.  I hate those pins.
>The professor says that it adds authenticity to the instrument.  My question
to
>her was, "You like to have some bubonic plague to go with the damned thing,
also?".
