>>Simple enough tho.... leftover peice of tuning block mounted on an
>>adjustable height stand.  Tails sit on the tuning block. A dark black
>>tush pen has marked along the midpoint along one of the plies sost I
>>have this very straight line for the tails and I have a string run
>>across all the hammers at the middle of the shoulder.  If a hammer is
>>angled out with the tail on the line then the string deflects... if its
>>angled in then you see a space between the string and hammer... Along
>>with a good eyeball beed line.... well it works great and lasts a long
>> time.
