What is this?

[Jack Houweling]

Hi Barbara,

I made these and gave you one as a gift, It is an upright damper regulation gauge. Place on the strings and as
you press the key you can watch through the Plexiglas for the damper timing. When the hammer hits the gauge
you should see the damper wink.

Hey Ron if you are nice I will give you one and you can enjoy doing more upright damper regulating.


Regards,
Jack Houweling

  Greetings,

  Hmm.  I was going through my tools in anticipation of a regulating job and found this, umm, thingee with three magnets.  It was stuck to one of my tools that I used in a class in Anaheim .  I hadn't used that particular pack of tools this summer.  It's true that I was very tired when I got to California because I had squished in a bunch of work before I left.  There is the possibility that this belongs to one of the people that helped me in my class, or someone handed it to me, maybe as something for TT & T and I just don't remember, or I bought it and don't recall doing so.  Yikes!

  If this looks familiar and you gave it to me, or it belongs to you, please let me know.  Also, please let me know what it's for!  It's about 6 inches long, about 1 in tall the side that has the magnets is about 3/4" (I think).  

  Man, I'm weirded out....

  Thank you.
