More specifically the capstan of the sharp must go up the same
distance as the naturals.  Easy to check at the capstan line on most
pianos. 

I use checking also but have difficulty determining if the backchecks
are the same and the backstops are the same.  ANy variation there will
effect checking.

I LIKE straight lines but often walk a crooked path.
