When I was doing some = tuning training recently, the instructor had one the Joe Goss sells. I = think thy're pretty impressive levers. The one you mention is a = different brand, but similar in that it has a ball on the end. It's = amazing how many types of tuning levers are available out there. Ilove = the feel of the Schaff 21, but I need to order a longer head for when I = do grands, the head it came with, a 13g I believe, it hits the rim up = toward the trebble section, and one has to get in a crink to tune with = it. =20 Marshall ps. I'm curious, how did you attach the wood ball from Hobby Lobby to = your lever?

If = I were buying a new lever, I'd look at the Jahn w/o the extension and = also at the Fujan (http://www.fujanproducts.com). The Fujan should be = lighter.

I made mine from a wooden ball from Hobby Lobby. If you or anyone else is interested, I have a very nice Hale rosewood = extension lever that I used for a year or so before I got the Jahn. It's = in excellent condition, and I can send a picture if you're interested. = Contact me privately at john@formsmapiano.com.
