There is one thing. The three legged gage type with a solid pin at one end, 
one in the middle, and the dial at the other end can get pretty close to 
giving you meaningful measurements with the two legs on the speaking or 
rear duplex and the dial plunger on the bridge segment. Wrapped strings are 
a problem with these though.

Bubble is better.
