It's an Impact tuning hammer build by the Reyburn folks that bring you the RCT or Reyburn Cyber Tuner... http://www.reyburn.com/cyberhammer.html 275 with Walnut and 249 with the rubber grip and stainless steel construction. Oh, a Brass Weight here too. Scooter. Scott Associate Member Piano Technicians Guild RsgPianoService We love to play BF2

The GeistHammer I saw on Ebay looks nice. I have been using a rosewood extension hammer for many years. By looking at the pics I feel that some of these new tuning levers provide a more comfortable and natural grip that can offer better control. Maybe??

The individually styled handle is very comfortable and each handle is unique. Good luck with your decision. Last edited by TsonicTsunami; 03/12/09 01:51 PM. Pianoforte Neophyte

One of them also has a Fujan but likes this one better because of the convenience of being able to use standard heads. I also love my cyberhammer. However, my wife who's learning to tune has kidnapped it! Ryan Sowers, Pianova Piano Service Olympia, WA www.pianova.net
