New Bearing guges that don't lie

Hi Dale, 

I don't know if that's an assumption I'm comfortable making. It's true that 
it's the total bearing that affects the impedance, and that's what this gauge 
measures. It's also true that clamping due to side bearing probably overcomes 
negative front (or rear) bearing where the total bearing is positive, but I'd 
rather have a complete picture of the front and rear bearing as well as the 
total.

I carry a couple of these (thinner, about 5mm) for a quick go-no-go check of 
a problem piano in the field, but I'd rather have the whole picture when doing 
an assessment for real.

I also haven't found a way to use them to set up a bridge on a new 
soundboard. Were you saying that you have?
