Gooseneck Rosewood Piano Tuning Lever
A gooseneck piano tuning lever built for home pianists and beginning tuners who want the access advantages of a curved shaft with the grip and balance of a genuine rosewood handle — the Gooseneck Rosewood features a 5-inch rosewood handle at 1.25 inches in diameter, a brushed satin steel shaft, and a fixed one-piece #2 star tip.
- Genuine rosewood handle, 1.25 inches in diameter — substantially thicker and more substantial than the slim wooden handles on entry-level gooseneck levers, for improved grip and control.
- Gooseneck curved shaft provides angled access to tuning pins without fighting the plate or adjacent hardware — especially useful on upright pianos and baby grands where straight levers can be awkward.
- Brushed satin steel shaft — fixed one-piece construction with no threaded collet joint in the curve, which is the first failure point on cheap gooseneck levers.
- Fixed one-piece head and #2 star tip: no cross-threading, no tip that loosens under torque, no joint at the point of maximum stress.
- 12-inch overall length with a 5-inch rosewood handle — balanced for comfortable one-handed use during touch-up tuning sessions.
- #2 star tip fits the tuning pins on virtually all modern pianos, including Yamaha, Kawai, Baldwin, and Steinway.
- Free shipping, continental U.S. No sales tax on online orders.
One-Piece Construction: What It Means on a Curved Shaft
On a gooseneck lever, the curve in the shaft is the point of highest mechanical stress during tuning. Cheap gooseneck levers are sometimes constructed with a separate curved section joined to the handle shaft — a joint that can develop play over time and transmit that looseness directly to the pin. The Gooseneck Rosewood uses a single continuous brushed satin steel shaft from handle ferrule to tip, with no joint in the curve. Combined with the fixed one-piece head and #2 star tip — no separate threaded tip to loosen mid-session — the result is a lever with no mechanical weak points between your hand and the tuning pin.
Where This Lever Fits in the Jansen Lineup
The Gooseneck Rosewood is the rosewood-handle option for buyers who specifically want a curved-shaft lever. It sits above our entry-level gooseneck kit in handle quality and build, and alongside the Classic Rosewood straight-shaft lever in price tier. If you are not sure whether a gooseneck or straight-shaft lever is right for your piano and how you tune, the table below and our Buyer’s Guide will help you choose.
