David Ilvedson Original message From: David Love To: 'Pianotech' Received: Wed, 13 Apr 2005 20:51:07 -0700 Subject: Key Clamping Jig Attached are the photos. These are simple trap springs screwed= into a long piece of pin block scrap which has been screwed down to a= slab of something I had laying around. The pin block material is shimmed= up off the deck to allow the lip to slip under. Once the key is placed= under the clamp I depress the spring slightly while holding the key. = The release of tension on the spring pulls the key slightly toward= the pin block stop as otherwise there is tendency for the key to drift= back while the keytop remains stationary and a gap can form at the= front. As you can see, you can also use this for clamping a set of sharps. = If you install tops without fronts, you could make the jig with a stop= for the keytop recessed whatever distance you want underneath and behind= the line of the larger stop for the key front. That way you can= index the same amount of overhang of the key top for each key. Since I= don't install keytops without fronts I didn't bother to do that.
