Tuning levers

[Alan R. Barnard]

I LOVE my Wonderwand. It solves the "bulk .... in tight places problem," the
machined threads and all are first rate, the cost is very fair, you can hold
your hand in any position (no more wrist-twisting), you can move from pin to
pin with one hand (mostly), it has a good, solid feel, and you can pretend
you're driving an Italian sports car ... Vvvvvrrrrooooooooom, shift .....
