Fw: Voicing out of the piano?

[Michael Gamble]

Hello list
I use cut-off bits of masking tape on the key-shanks with suitable marks on
like Joe Garrett says, but in ball-point. Thing is they can either be
removed or left in place to check at a later visit. No mess. But a bit
fiddly maybe? :-)
Regards
