The clip-on leads should really be designed to clip over the capstan rather than the back check. You would get a more accurate reading that way. What I have done is to take 12 clip on leads, set them on top of a heavy iron vice and flatten them slightly with a hammer so that they set more securely on top of the key near the capstan. Then I level an octave at a time after presetting the guide notes with the stack on.

I level all the C's individually and then with the straight edge. I think the split punching trick is good, but I only use for touch up. If I have big levelling work, I unscrew the action and I lead the back checks. Quentin ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
