Tuning lever heads

[Clyde Hollinger]

Newton,

Your comments here cause me to realize something about my left-handed
tuning.  When tuning verticals I push to raise the pitch, and on grands I
pull.  I don't know why, but one consistency is that the tuning hammer is
on the same side of the tuning pin as where the string begins the coil.

Regards,
Clyde
