While I'm greatly pleased that engineers like Steve Fujan are tackling the problems we face every day (using actual science rather than speculation!), I was surprised to find that I didn't like his lever when I tried it in Kansas City. I didn't get to tune -- it was just a pin in a board -- but I didn't like the feel of the grip, or the movement of the pin. I tuned with a lot of different levers at NBSS. Has anyone else found a learning curve with this lever? --Cy-- ABQ, NM ----- Original Message ----- From: erwinspiano at aol.com To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 7:16 AM Subject: Re: Carbon fiber durability Carbon fiber fans...Mark,Barb, Don..... It's great to see these becoming the wave of the future. we bought Dennis one of the Fujans upon graduation from North Bennett st. When his tools were stolen last year it was the very first thing he ordered. I typically use the 15 degree head with a short tip. I also purchased another complete head piece with a 5 degree angle and attached a longer tip via a tip extension in the event tall struts become an issue .Also this set up is handy on some uprights where the lid clearance is an issue. All this is a rare occasion. I do like the way the different angle feels on some pinss well. I find it an easy quick change to simply screw the head on & off as opposed to changing tips. I love this tool & enjoy tuning so much more than before. There's nothing like good equipment. Dale -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
