marking location of rear string bearings

[Farrell]

Why even try to mark them Barbara? Seems to me you could just remove them, paint the plate, and then set them back in place afterwards. You can line them up by eye. You can move them fore and aft to affect downbearing.

Yes?

  I'm doing some work here that I haven't done for about 20 years.  I'm an action girl, but agreed in a weak moment to restring and fix up a friend's piano.  (That's all I'm going to say about it, it's a ridiculous story how it came about.)

  Anyway, I plan on doing some cosmetic fixing up of the plate, and was wondering how I should mark the location of the rear bearing gizmos.  My thought was to use some tape.  Is that what folks do?

  Thanks,
