Grover-Trophy Piano Tuning Hammers (Square Head) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, if you don't know how to tune a piano, STOP NOW! Without proper knowledge of how to manipulate a tuning lever, it's very easy for you to mess up the tuning, and even worse, you may break the string, loosen the tuning pin, or whatever. When you call a professional piano technician to fix the problem, you'd have to pay a lot more than usual fee for a tuning, because you've made his or her job more complicated.
Besides, with the square head of this tuning lever, it's very hard to set the lever on the tuning pin at good angle to manipulate it well. You need a star tip at least.
If you really want to tune your piano, learn how to do it correctly first. One good place to get information about piano tuning is the Piano Technicians Guild (ptg.org). Take good care of your piano.

Grover-Trophy Pitchpipe Piano Tuning Hammers, Star Head Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, he couldn't have been...must have been one of those European-made pianos with non-standard-sized pegs.
No. He's right. This tuner doesn't fit: loose on some pegs, not even close on others. From looking at the star head, it appears that some of the points are rounded off while others aren't; this may be why the tuner fits on some pegs and not others, depending on their orientation.
The wooden handle was also split two inches back from the ferrule.
All around, this is not a well made tool and I would not recommend that you take a chance on it.
On the other hand, the merchant, WWBW, is outstanding and very helpful. Their handling of my complaint was above reproach. I will do business with them in the future.
UPDATE: I exchanged this tuner for a square-ended one. It works acceptably, but still slips some on a few of the pegs. I won't complain, however, since the square-end hammer does get the job done.

Professional Piano Tuning Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The tuning lever appears to be a cheap imitation of one of the better brands. The star tip stripped out almost immediately because it is a poor quality metal that is chrome plated. Better ones use hardened steel. The tapering also was not done correctly. While it seems like a bargain, spend a few more dollars and go with a Schaff-Hale or similar brand. Except for the tuning fork, felt and mutes, this kit is a waste of money.

Grover-Trophy Pitchpipe Piano Tuning Hammers, Square Head Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The treading that connects the head to the handle striped rather quickly. A little J-B Weld fixed that. Other than that it's a solid tool.
