Ron, An idea I use sometimes from one of Willis Snyder's classes is to make a lead weight of 12 oz., roughly 7/16 x 3 x 2, wrap it in duct tape, place it on the narrow part of the natural and then use your regular dip block to measure. Lift the key to level and let it drop and you will have very equal weight from key to key. Also fits on sharps (a little balancing act), but I use the Jaras gauge to measure them. Thank you, Willis.
