Flugelbauer Tuning Lever (piano tuning tool)

Flugelbauer Piano Supply presents the Flugelbauer Tuning Lever.

This is a very recommended tuning lever for its versatility.

I personally use a ball handle tuning lever but this one from Flugelbauer is sort of an hybrid.

Flugelbauer build superior quality piano tuning tools. You can be 100% sure you get more for your money.

I highly recommend all the tools from Flugelbauer.

Please, explain.
I didn’t mean this to be a joke. Sorry for that!

It’s a really old piano, at the school I go to. I really love to play, but it needs to be tuned badly. Any suggestions would be welcome.
My school doesn’t have a piano teacher, I was kinda hoping I could getting done without costing myself a whole lot of money. I don’t make a lot here at school.

Flugelbauer Piano Supply presents the Flugelbauer Tuning Lever.

Here is an interesting tuning lever that support both the standard lever manipulation and the jerk or impact style of tuning lever manipulation.  Thanks to its important ball handle at the end and its pear overall shape.

It is a bit expensive at $250 and is out of reach for the apprentice but its nice to know it does exist.

I know they exist but I’m confused on what exactly I would need or not need. Do they come with instructions or are they tools that only a professional would know how to use? Obviously I’m clueless and would appreciate ANY info on this subject.
