You choose a
CLASSIC impact OR main body style (2 1/4” to 2 3/8” ball diameter is standard) or a

These comfortable and easy-to-change bodies are nicely contoured for that CASSOTTO LEVER feel.

Every lever I make for colleagues aims to stand out as a showstopper. Choose one of our options or go with a special wood.
-
The Ultimate’s traditional carbon fiber lever component is just as stiff as our non Ultimate lever, thanks to an advanced additional female / male connective alloy between the carbon fiber core centers.

We researched, in great detail, which alloys & methods to use to produce the strongest, best fit-tip in the industry. Our Prestige tips are the ultimate high strength tool steel tip mixed with the extremely precise EDM cutting technology, measured for perfection & precision. We set out to make the toughest, most resilient interior star pattern that should stand the test of time.
Our tips are heat treated to the perfect level for longevity & rigidity, and we believe simplicity in the outward appearance, not unnecessary patterns, will give you what you’re seeking - the feel of the pin.

We Make 5 tip sizes: 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, & 3. When I walk up to a piano, I test each tuning pin on me. This chart might be useful!!!
I recommend (1) tip insert per tip since the threads on the tip-side of the insert are finer than the threads going into the Cassotto head. This allows us to engineer removing the tip WITHOUT stomping your lever on the floor.

Our tips are coated with a black oxide finish to give them that stunning look. Black oxide is exactly what it sounds like - it’s a controlled form of rust. By its nature it should not flake or rub off.
If any excessive moisture or acids from hand creams, lotions, cleaners with salts, or acids hit black oxide, you will introduce red rust.
To help prevent this, you can buy one of our wooden cases to keep the tips and inserts in when they’re not in use, keep the parts away from liquids, and keep your hands clean.
To further protect the black oxide, you can wipe any black oxide finish with a wax. My favorite is Renaissance Wax which dries hard instantly. Follow manufacturer’s instructions on safety and wipe off any residue before using parts on pianos.
