Title: works for my Reverie Harp 😃!
Review: I have a Reverie Harp (a zither-like instrument) from Music Makers, and wanted another tuning key but I wanted wood (REAL wood), at a price that was not too expensive. This tuning keys works perfectly! It is solid and sturdy, and I prefer the T-design for this harp over the L-shaped one my Reverie Harp came with because of the angle I tune this harp at.Note - this tuner is for smaller instruments. It also fits my 29-string lever harp, but it does not work on my full-size 39-string harp.AMAZING VALUE for real wood and it being so sturdy. I tried many others before I finally landed on this one!

Title: Made to properly fit zither pins
Review: This works well, it fits on both older zither pins, as well as the new Chinese zither pins that are currently available. Prefer this center tuning key design over the side offset type tuning wrench.

Title: Well made.
Review: Works great and looks well made. My only complaint is it is a very tight fit on the tuning pins I have which are standard sized pins. Takes a bit of work to seat it properly on the Pin.

Title: So much better than the flat metal wrench
Review: It's a nice solid turner/wrench. The wood is super smooth and the metal is heavier and seems very durable. The slimmer neck of the metal piece that inserts into the wood is not hollow.

Title: Works on Vintage German Zithers
Review: I'm a luthier. I build custom acoustic guitars, repair stringed instruments, and I restore historical guitars, as well as other old stringed instruments. I'm cleaning up a 1964 Jubeltone German Zither, as well as a large East German concert Musima Markneukirchen Zither. I needed a tuner wrench.I took caliper measurements on several pegs but found as much as a 0.75mm variance. None of the measurements seem to fit into the available wrenches. I tried to use nut drivers, but none fit.Research seemed to suggest that 3/16" is the proper size, but the corresponding nut driver slipped. Nut drivers are hex shaped and many wrenches are star shaped. I decided to take a shot in the dark and ordered this wrench. The opening on this wrench is square, which minimized slippage. It's also 3/16", which was the closest measurement to the caliper.The wrench fits properly and allows fine tuning. Its also well-made. The handle has a pin which will keep it from spinning.It's a good buy.

Review: Es ergonómico, de buen tamaño y la cabeza tiene suficiente cuerpo para durar y no romperse o doblarse. Lo malo es que solo te permiten comprar de 5 en 5 y tienes que estar esperando varios días antes de poder comprar más.

Review: I lost my tuning key for my lever harp / clarsach, so I bought this online, and also popped into a folk musical instrument shop, where I was advised that it was designed for autoharps only, and that it wouldn’t fit my levers.Wrong! And compared with the chunky extra-sturdy tuning keys which all the harp manufacturers sell, I far prefer a lighter model like this one - especially as my whole harp needs a retune...Edit: having bought this as a replacement, and then as the replacement’s replacement, and also a chunky sturdy tuning key in between, I’ve found that my tuning pegs are too small for standard harp tuning keys, yet fit this one perfectly. So if you have smaller-than-usual tuning pegs, get this tuning key.

Review: 付属のL字型レンチが使いにくかったので、こちらを購入しました。サイズはぴったりで満足のいく使い勝手です。もう少し安いとありがたいのですが、円安なので仕方ないですね。

Review: This was pricy (was delivery to Australia) but worth it. The little spanners are so hard to use. This fits the Music Maker perfectly and is really easy to use.
