"A quick thumbs up and thanks to Randy Cassotto of 88 On Pitch for making me a new custom tuning lever. I've always favored the feel of steel levers like old Hale and more recently Jahn, but this feather-light and gorgeous carbon fiber lever with a Macassar ebony handle may just change my mind.
I've been using it with the new Cassotto Prestige tips #2 and #1, and a 10° head. The #2 tip fits just a tad deeper than my Jahn #2, but that's a good thing as it reduces the pin flex. There is some vertical rocking but it hugs the pin thoroughly at its end allowing you to turn the pin in the block in tiniest increments. The control is excellent overall. If you want to feel the pin, steel is still the ticket, but some isolation is not a bad thing, it just takes getting used to it. I think I found my new favorite."

"This lever handles beautifully. The majority of its weight is at the ball, which not only allows you the ability to feel the most minute movements, but makes for easy repositioning of the tip without ever having to take your hand off the ball."

"Love Love Love my lever. It does what you tell it to and it instills a sense of pride in my work."

"My very first tuning lever, beautifully constructed by @cassottolevers is here!! It was a tall (and very difficult) order to have Randy adhere to designs that I drew to a lever, but he did a gorgeous job. The lever is lightweight, sensitive to the smallest movements, and make tuning a dream! Thank you, Randy, I love it!"

"My new tuning lever from @88onpitch @cassottotuninglevers I love it 😍 🤩 ✨ It's great 🙌 I just tuned a Yamaha with it. Such a relief --it's less physical effort for more discrete tuning pin movements 😅"

"It replaced my Fujan lever upon trying my shiny, new custom lever. The interchangeable tip is extremely seamless! Also, I now love that my hammer has a ton of personality and my clients will go 'what kind of tuning lever is that?!"

"Big shout-out to Randy Cassotto. He's created a tuning lever that's light and well-balanced, with a carbon-fiber core that's absolutely rigid and transfers the most subtle information from the tuning pin to my hand. It's not only an excellent tool, it's a work of art, worthy of some of the pianos I'm fortunate enough to have in my care.
It's not the cheapest. But neither are the pianos I prefer to service. And when I consider the time he likely spent in its creation, a bargain..
Some call it a hammer. Others a lever, or wrench. But this.. this is a wand."

"When I recently turned 70 with no plans for retirement, I decided to treat myself to a really nice custom made lever to use on this last and hopefully long leg of my tuning journey. I contacted Randy Cassotto and furnished him with my specs for my perfect lever and he made one that was way beyond my expectations. It tunes like a dream and even though it is the same length, it is 2.5 ounces lighter than my Fujan! The small head is also great for visibility and accessibility in tight places. Would highly recommend!"

"I also have the quick change tip technology. All carbon fiber/wood technology. In my opinion, Randy raised the bar on the 2 industry standards."

"I love my hammer!!!!! I've used it twice so far and it's my new 'go-to'. I tuned a Wurlitzer spinet yesterday and a high gloss Yamaha today. I think it was shinier than the Yamaha, HAHAHA! I was able to stand while I tune, which I never do with my impact hammer. And it's sooooooo light! Beautiful work, Randy."
