[CAUT] Black on Black... (Jack alignment)

[Ed Sutton]

[CAUT] Black on Black... (Jack alignment)Kawai is very concerned with having just the right degree of friction between the jack and the knuckle.  They build a little bit of roughness into the jack tip for this.  I wonder of white out will eventually wear off onto the knuckle and change the friction.

  Hi Jon,

   

  You know, my gut feeling tells me that this (white out) will work and solve my immediate problem. However, have you tried the "feel" method Michael W. wrote about? I've used that method to check for cheating jacks, but have never set jack position with it. I'm wondering if this "feel" of the jack will be as accurate (or more) for touch as the sight method. Once again, asking a simple question like this has caused me to examine my own long-used techniques. His experience is more vast than mine so. I'm off to experiment! 

   

  Regards,

  Jim Busby

    It's just the plane of the jack that I can't see.

   

  Put some White Out or white finger nail polish

  on the back edge of the jack.

   

  I like to sight down the core of the adjacent knuckle

  and the bring the jack abeam of it.
