Factory Style Piano Tuning Lever

This tuning lever is built heavier and more solid than standard tuning hammers. It’s designed for situations where extra durability and strength are needed, such as in factories or rebuild shops, or for professional piano technicians.

Yes. The solid, heavy-duty design allows for controlled tapping or “pounding” to help set or stabilize tuning pins in the pinblock — a task sometimes required in factory work or during piano restoration.

This lever is ideal for professional piano technicians working in factories, rebuild shops, or on pianos with loose tuning pins. It’s also suitable for tuners who want a heavier tool for challenging jobs.

In piano tuning, especially in factory or rebuild settings, sometimes tuners lightly strike or tap the tuning pin (via the tuning lever) to help drive the pin more firmly into the pinblock.

This helps stabilize loose pins or set new pins during manufacturing or restoration — it’s not about hammering, but about controlled impact to seat the pin securely.

The factory-style lever’s heavier, solid build makes it suited for this type of occasional pin-setting task.
