I have added Dag screws to the D's I look after. It makes voicing a lot easier I can quickly push the action into position, and not have to worry about cheek blocks and the sustenuto rod giving problems. After voicing, I back the screws inwards a quarter of a turn. I drew a line on the keybed where the action is supposed to be, so I don't have to keep putting the cheek blocks in. I have a couple of pieces of laminated card, so I can depress the pedal, and slip it at the bass end of the action. This will give an accurate half pedal position, makes it easy to get consistent voicing in this position. The thickness of the card is half the thickness of the Agraffe holes. This is fine if you only want to do half pedal, or all the way. But this professor wants it at 100 different position, (or at least as many as possible) That is why I drew a mark on the keyframe, and then three marks on the keybed. This allows me about 5 different positions. But I found that even that doesn't do the job. I wound up doing what one of you suggested, (I can't remember who), and that is to do a slow shift on each key, playing the note constantly. It brings out even the smallest imperfection.
