[pianotech] Downbearing

[Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft]

Jim, thanks for posting the pics. I have been using the Wixey gauge, but I think your set up will make it much easier to use. I use the small angle iron from the Lowell gauge to measure the bass strings.

  Noah,

  Instead of the Lowell gauge, I'm using a Wixey digital gauge to read the downbearing angles directly, without
  translating from the lowell's bubble readings or dial indicator readings.

  Any woodworking mail order carries them.

  The "foot" is dead simple to make, right out of the scrap bin.
