Prepping the Piano for the Tuner - slightly OT

Avery, List,

Definitely another consideration for someone who isn't prepared.  I do have
a short tuning hammer, and if "absolutely" necessary, left-handed can be
done.

However, my weapon of choice is a 6 1/2" tuning lever head & tip I put on
for situations where space is at a premium.  Have dealt with this for years
at the university I service, as well as a few other choice locations.
Clears all grand rims to date.
