About this item: 

  • STAR TIP TUNING HAMMER: This tuning hammer comes with a 5 degree #2 star tip. The #2 star tip is designed to fit tuning pins with square heads.  It will fit tuning pins on most pianos, except those with smaller than normal tuning pins (mostly found on very old, European pianos). A great tool for beginning tuners or for those wanting to own a hammer for occasional touch-ups or tuning.  
  • TUNING HAMMER DURABLE DESIGN: The hammer's total length is 12 inches and it has a curved, 6-1/2" wooden handle.
  • INCLUDES:
    - One temperament strip: 50" long and is tapered from 3/4" down to 1/2" wide
    - Two 3" x 3/8" rubber mutes with handles
  • FUNCTION OF TOOLS:

          - The temperament strip is used to mute off the outside strings and one is enough to tune two octaves at a time.

          - The two small rubber mutes with metal extension handles are used for the high strings and the two longer mutes for the middle or lower strings.

Just what I needed

After many years of playing piano, I decided to try my hand at tuning mine at home. This kit was perfect to get me started. The tools seem very high quality for the price!

Def the kit to buy- A BARGAIN!!

This kit is a must have. The rubber string dampers silence the strings nicely and are easy to use. I didn’t bother with the felt. The tuning wrench is awesome. It’s very well machined out of quality steel in the USA. I’m a practical engineer and claim this design to be the best. I’ve used many many tools over the years and when it comes to tuning any machine, feel is very important. The best feel comes from tools that are solid one piece designs. I don’t care how expensive the other tuning hammers(wrenches) are, when you introduce a joint or a set screw, you lose rigidity and fine tactility. If this means buying a different wrench for every type of piano peg, then so be it. I have thousands and thousands of $$$ in tools for this reason. This wrench is really a bargain compared to automotive tools, especially American made ones. This is DEF automotive and industrial quality. It’s made for a many years of use. The solid design also allows you to bump the handle in reverse to set the pin properly. There’s nothing to strip or loosen as a result of repeated wiggling or tapping. It’s the one to buy. Fast shipping too! Really like their YouTube videos and count that towards good customer service.

The right tools

I am a trained musician and career mechanic. With these tools and a Strobe tuner I was able to tune a 60 year old Spinet.
