David: Since you have a Fujan as I do, I'd be interested in your view of the Faulk CF lever. My Fujan dates back to the aluminum tube model so I have been interested in the CF lever but they now are quite expensive. The Faulk is considerably less but I have wondered about the stiffness since the tube is much smaller than on the Fujan. The stiffness is my favorite part of the Fujan. Any observations of the Faulk would be appreciated. dave David M.

I bought a Fujan three years ago, and love it. And Allen Wright was so kind as to let me try out his Faulk CF lever (and he tried my Fujan). They're both so good, and it's great now to have a third model on the market. Perhaps CF will become the generally accepted standard for tuning levers, and heavy steel shafts may die out! It's excellent that, even if piano manufacturing is much dminished in the UK and the USA, people are still putting careful thought towards innovating the tools of our trade. Best regards, David Boyce
