“I think I found my new favorite.”

— Mario Igrec, Author of “Pianos Inside Out: A Comprehensive Guide To Piano Tuning, Repairing, & Rebuilding”

All Lengths Come in Any of the 6 Body Styles (from left to right): Linear, Hybrid, Classic (the best!), Compact Classic, Stick, & Pinch.

12” (11 3/4”) Segmented Cedar CLASSIC Body Style with 2 3/8” Ball, Holographic Lettering, & High Gloss Protective RC FLEX Hard Finish. The Classic Body Style makes tuning on verticals super fast and efficient, only requiring you to slightly roll your wrist to lift the tip from one tuning pin to the next.

“The lever is wonderful, feather light yet rigid, the wood (and finish on it) feel excellent. The prestige tips are excellent.

The lever and the prestige #2 are a very welcome addition to my toolkit.”

We Make 5 Interchangeable Heads

Every lever comes standard with (1) 15˚ head (my personal favorite for optimal plate strut clearance). You can pick any one of the five options, or buy additional head angles as you desire.

Every lever comes standard with a 15˚ head (or your choice of 15˚, 12.5˚, 10˚, 7.5˚, or 5˚). You get maximum plate strut clearance with this angle.

Every lever comes standard with a 15˚ head (or your choice of 15˚, 12.5˚, 10˚, 7.5˚, or 5˚). Pairs well with any lever body style.

Every lever comes standard with a 15˚ head (or your choice of 15˚, 12.5˚, 10˚, 7.5˚, or 5˚). This head pairs best with any linear, stick, pinch, and reduced diameter classic, compact classic, or hybrid levers. Always use an extra long tip insert.

Every lever comes standard with a 15˚ head (or your choice of 15˚, 12.5˚, 10˚, 7.5˚, or 5˚). Pairs best with any linear, stick, pinch, and reduced diameter classic, compact classic, or hybrid levers. Always use a 1/2" tip insert.

Every lever comes standard with a 15˚ head (or your choice of 15˚, 12.5˚, 10˚, 7.5˚, or 5˚). This head pairs best with any linear, stick, pinch, and reduced diameter classic, compact classic, or hybrid levers. Always use an extra long tip insert.

We Make 3 Tip Inserts

Our inserts are engineered in such a way that you should NEVER need to stomp your lever on the ground to change tips.

This shortened insert is comprised of a special steel that is shatter resistant. The shortened height creates a lower center of gravity, allowing for more control at the pin. You can choose this insert as an option but pairs best with the 15˚ head and most 12.5˚ heads (level body permitting).
Again, always I recommend (1) tip insert per every CASSOTTO PRESTIGE tip you purchase for fast tip changes in the field (due to our specially designed threading at the head conjunction).
Can be removed with a 7/16" socket or wrench.

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 new tips work best with any CASSOTTO Lever. In the event you want one for your own lever, they may fit the following:
- Cassotto Levers
- Faulk Levers
- Jahn heads (you'll need one of our tip inserts)
- Reyburn (ask me)
- Fujan (ask me)
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.
