Harpsichord tuning

Aart,
Your tuning hammer will not fit the tuning pins.  You will need to 
order a harpsichord lever if the instrument doesn't come with one.  A 
T-hammer is recommended.  I got the lever, but after having done it, 
I wish I got the T version, low torque.  Plan on going through 
quickly a few times if it has been a while since it has been 
tuned.  The structure gives and moves around while you are tuning up, 
hooray for cast iron plates.
