Have a good one. >Marshall Hello, Marshall I use an A-440 fork, but of course you can get C forks as well, if they suit your temperament sequence better. I use the nylon extension hammer, myself. It's nearly indestructible. The rosewood is pretty, of course. I once cracked a rosewood hammer trying to <blush> hammer a pedal lyre wedge in with it. I was very much younger than I am now ... oh, by the way, it's good to have a rubber mallet for that sort of task. I use my extension lever kind of long, but as a guy you probably don't need to. It's handier when it's shorter, but takes more muscle to turn. Susan
