Here's something to break the monotony: Why are some piano's key ratios so erratic and other a closer tolerance? Is the hole that much off note to note to create a .02 to .05 difference? I have not taken linear measurements for this, (can one?) only a weight on the capstan with the key on the scale platen. Next time I'll scrutinize length parameters. I have to put in a plug for the Touchweight Design Table. (Pianotek) If speed and accuracy conforms to your procedures, then this tool fits that bill. I thought my own jigs were doing just fine. Having ordered one at the Providence Convention I thought I would be apprised of their availability but fortunately one arrived last month. What a difference! A side by side comparison proved the benefits of their system. I highly recommend this tool for techs interested in further development of their action diagnostics.
