Charles Faulk, Registered Piano Technician, Piano Technicians Guild, is a pianist, piano technician, and professional wood turner. He has 30 years experience in piano manufacturing, piano restoration, and concert level piano work.

After four years of development, the CF Carbon Fiber Tuning Hammer is finally available. The highlight of this tuning lever is a newly designed aluminum (yes, ALUMINUM) tuning head that is fitted in-line with a 5/8" carbon fiber shaft. It will also feature an double threaded adapter that will enable the tuner to use both standard Hale type tuning tips and Jahn tips. The 'uni-body' construction of the CF tuning hammer adds stiffness and sensitivity to this ultra light tool. I hope you'll take a look. More tuning hammers will be added to the CF page in the coming weeks.

I will still be making titanium levers along with the CF tuning hammers. For those of you who like to change tuning heads frequently, threaded titanium will be your best choice.
