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.

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.

Apart from the way this gentleman manipulates his tuning lever, he seems to know what he is doing.

Notice he is in a classroom where we piano tuners often work.

Notice also at the end of his playing, he noticed the out of tune note just by playing the piano normally.  He has a good ear.
