I'm struggling with the Lowell gauge and each time I move it=20 and then attempt a repeat I start with a completely different reading that=20 I zeroed in before. The little "V"'s in the bottom of the feet don't seem=20 to sit very well upon the string in any segment. I think it's because the=20 tool isn't heavy enough so it rocks too easily. Are there any better tools=20 available and if not has anyone modified theirs to give less trouble? I'd=20 like to modify the Lowell gauge to use rare earth magnets as it's feet if=20 there's nothing else available. Any idea's on how to accomplish that? Greg Newell Greg's piano Fort=E9 mailto:gnewell@ameritech.net=20 Greg I find a light touch gives better reading. Get it set & just try to=20 balance it or hold it lightly. I keep the feet fairly well extended when e= ver=20 possible for less instability. Dale Erwins Pianos Restorations=20 4721 Parker Rd.
