Tuning hammer recommendation

[gsoler]

Hi!

I had a piano tuner visiting, and he told me my current piano tuner hammer is not good enough. (Yes, I usually tune myself).

What do you recommend for a piano hammer key #2, buget-friendly and easy shipping to Norway?

Could I expect this one to be up for the task:

hi,gsoler
if during the course of your tunings the edges of your tuning pin do not have " a licking", obvious barr notches of a metal, etc., then why change your hammer now? Use your tuning hammer. To ensure the durability of your pitch after your tuning use the (9-12) tuning's technique.

Yes, improving my tuning technique is important. Isn't it 11-14? Sorry, my russian is two words only
I ordered a K&M 166. If it works well, then good if not. Well, it's rather cheap.
My current hammer doesn't go long enough down on the pin I believe.

hi, gsoler
then you need to wait for your new hammer. No (11-14)  is a different technique.
If you will work (9-12) only up, then you can save a wooden bush and a hole of your pinblock. This happens because in this position(9-12)  a string does not push to on a pin  extra pressure pounds .
good luck,

I will be very grateful if you can shoot a small 2-3 minute video, where explaining behind the scenes in English: "why I putting drive  my palm so there to  the handle of  a hammer (9-12) up." I hope that soon time you have your new hammer
