Tuning Tools

Ref. 84xx
Tuning hammers

These are modelled on an antique hammer that I own, and are, like the original a delight to use. The handle is hardwood, and strikers and shaft are silicone bronze. I make handles in 2 lengths shanks in 3 lengths; for piano pins the shank is heavier and of intermediate length, or very short (35mm) with the shank offset in the handle giving increased leverage and control without the danger of bending pins that can occur when using a lever; standard handles are also available. I have found the offset design helpful when tuning the treble of virginals and square pianos, where the lid gets in the way.
