Piano tuning levers (hammers)

RE: SHAPE OF TUNING PINS. Look like your piano has square tuning pins? It probably doesn't - Please read this comparison of **TUNING PIN SHAPES before ordering. Pins are actually tapered (with flat sides) on pianos made within the past 100 years, and need a standard No. 2 star tuning tip (the default tip on most levers). (Note: Some antique European "cottage" pianos used a smaller tuning pin and may need a lever with interchangable tips, such as the LEVER KITS shown below). Levers with a square or oblong tip also available. If you need a specialty tip, call or email me.

Apprentice tuning lever. High quality Schaff tuning lever with removable No. 2 Standard Star head and tip. The extra stiff stainless steel rod gives greater control and less flexing than single piece levers. With a comfortable, lacquered hardwood handle, this is the best priced all purpose tuning lever available. Handle length is 11 inches. The easily removable one piece head/tip allows for using other head/tip combinations, if needed. $53.00 including shipping in U.S.

Pro Grade Levers With Changable Tips.

Professional grade tuning levers can use many different head and tuning tip combinations. A convenient Tip Changing Wrench aids in changing tips. Add it to your order when buying any Craftsman, Nylon or Pro lever.
