This Metro Blower / Vacuum is the ultimate cleaning tool for pianos, and is great for other jobs, too. The extreme power (4hp) and simplicity will make you wonder why other vacuums are so wimpy and complicated (just be careful where you point the exhaust side).

| The CarbonTube Piano
Tuning Lever by Fujan Products. Unequaled in rigidity (minimal deflection) and tuning pin feedback. My tool of choice for uprights, or grands with difficult tuning pins. Interchangeable heads and tubes make it extremely versatile, allowing you to alter length or head angle. |

The CF Carbon Fiber Tuning
Hammer by Charles Faulk.
I frequently use it for high quality grands with compliant/consistent pin friction (giving up some rigidity and leverage for a more comfortable length and weight distribution). Charles made this beautiful tool for me using amboyna burl wood. |

If you're looking to learn the basics or improve on advanced skills, these videos
are full of great information. Learn basic to advanced tuning, regulation, voicing,
