Key leveling

[Farrell]

Carl's rig is the basic straight-edge and block-up-the-end-keys method perfected. He provides capstans for blocking up the end keys (so easy to set heights perfectly). His straight edge is aluminum with a weighted rod attached (enough weight to push "high" keys down securely. The straight edge ends have neat little blocks that are shaped such that they provide support to hold the straightedge in position, but then you flip it around and it is automatically perfectly set for 1/2" high sharps. I made another set of ends for 10 mm high Yamaha sharps (or whatever their height is supposed to be).

cmpiano@home.com  is the last email address I have for Carl.
