Thats been my experience. Check both bushings by feel, then do either the swing test or the Steinway shank tap after installing the pin...which ever is your preference. Cheers RicB David - Neither the Neuses nor, I suspect, your finger, is as sexy as a Correx, however both are accurate enough, is my opinion. Do you ever pin and not test"feel" the result? The effective frictional tolerance is pretty broad, especially if your target is anywhere between the traditional 5-7swings and the more recent "infinite swing with no sideplay" standard. Maybe you can justify the Correx as a means of calibrating your Neuses gauges? Just remember to get an extra as a back up (smiley out of commission). David Skolnik What if I'm wrong!?
