He designed and built the “Tilt Box” until the idea was STOLEN from him and offered as the “Wixey gauge”. Check it out. http://www.bealltool.com/products/measuring/tiltbox.php Greg Newell Greg's Piano Forté www.gregspianoforte.com 216-226-3791 (office) 216-470-8634 (mobile) From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of jimialeggio5 at comcast.net Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2008 3:17 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Downbearing Noah, Instead of the Lowell gauge, I'm using a Wixey digital gauge to read the downbearing angles directly, without translating from the lowell's bubble readings or dial indicator readings.

The "foot" is dead simple to make, right out of the scrap bin. pics attached Jim I Grandpianosolutions.com(under construction) Shirley, Ma (978) 425-9026 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
