Tom

Is that for use on a piano?  Do you hit the tuning chisel with a tuning hammer?


My lovely daughter has a friend who is a piano tuner and he showed me his tuning
hammer - it has a carbon fiber fat handle with a rosewood turned knob.  He said
that it is lighter than an all wood one, but also it is stiffer.  I can’t
imagine a similarly thick piece of wood being un-stiff, but what do I know?
