---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Charles, I also own the Spurlock jig, and use it regularly(Used it today, in fact). It allows for quick and accurate work. I also own the Schaff wooden unit, which I use for setting the hammer line mostly. Like most everyone else on this list, I was in the process of making one. Then I calculated the time required to make it versus what I could make in the same period of time tuning pianos. It was a no-brainer!
