[pianotech] Lever position for hand

Last year on a visit to a piano store, I let the owner and the girl who 
was doing some tuning for him, try out my Fujan lever. I was intrigued 
by the girl's tuning lever technique, and wondered how it could work to 
provide enough control, since the thumb seems to oppose the fingers and 
palm.

Pics 1 and 2 show my normal tuning lever positions (except that to take 
the pic of myself, I had to move round a bit, so my forearm is not as 
parallel to the piano as it would normally be).  I tune left-handed.

Does anyone else use a hand position like that in pic 3?

Best regards,

David.
