Avery: No, I have a long extension head that I put on when I get to the last section. That allows the handle to go above the rim so I can keep tuning with the lever at the 3:00 o'clock position. I have a set of 6 tuning lever heads with 0, 00 and 000 tips on 1-inch and 5-inch extensions. The 5-inch extensions take a little getting used to but after 30 years I'm pretty comfortable with them! I've never liked the body contortions you have to do to tune the last octave with a short head. dave __________________________________________ David M.
