I just read an advertisement in the back of Wood magazine from the Beall toool company advertising something that looks an awful lot like the Wixey gauge that has been talked about some months back. The advertisement states, "reads relative angles to .05 degrees" which I thought was interesting so i called them. The gentleman stated that his is the original and that he is the inventor and that Wixey is perpetrating a patent infringement that he can't afford to prosecute. While talking about the gauge and his other tools he mentioned that he used to build and maintain harpsichords and other stringed instruments including pianos. I bought from him and would urge others to buy from him rather than those who stole from him. Just thought you'd like to know.
