Faulk Tuning Hammers

I figure I’ve tuned over 25,000 pianos in my life, and I’ve definitely become sensitized to the process. The stability of my tuning depends on setting the pin properly, and to do that I’ve spent 35 years developing pin sensitivity in my body. Finally, finally, Charles Faulk has made a tuning lever that frees me to use all of that experience. The Faulk carbon fiber/aluminum lever allows a level of pin perception and “micro” movement that is truly extraordinary, leading to more fun and less work, more “in-the-zone” moments and far less frustration. It’s the best tuning lever I’ve ever used by two or three orders of magnitude.”

Dear customers, again this year, I’ll be prepping for the PTG Convention in Des Moines. I won’t have any more tuning hammers until I’ve produced my quota for the convention. I should have more to post around early July. Thanks for your patience.

A Faulk tuning hammer comes with a #2 Itoshin tip. These tips are not sold separately.

Many customers ask me about placing an order, and my apologies for not clarifying this. The best way to place an order is through my email (faulktuninghammers@gmail.com). Please state the item you wish to purchase and give me your mailing address so I can make an invoice. I prefer either Venmo or Zelle for payment; but, checks, credit cards, or PayPal are fine too. Thanks, Charles.
