I told the fellow that after leveling with this device if you could add a weight and accurately measure dip that this would be, IMO, even more valuable than the key leveling aspect. What do you think? I like to see new/different ideas.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Simply put for those who weren’t there, this device sets up and measures key height by contacting each key and then a computer tells you to put in whatever punching is needed for a “one pass” key leveling job. That’s how I understood it anyway. It seems like a consistent weight carrying the probe to the bottom of the key dip is the next logical step. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">IMO this tool is pricy for just leveling. Add dip, maybe I’d consider it. Figure out how to lay perfect dip and aftertouch… well, I’m even more interested!
