Some do their ratio calculations from the key front (I believe Pfeiffer did).</div> <div><br></div> <div>When setting the key dip, it is easier and more convenient to take it from the key front.</div> <div>Just my take.</div> <div><br></div> <div>It was nice to meet you at Rochester. Have a good Christmas.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Ron O.</div> <div><br></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">I am making a new key dip block and would like to know at what part of the key is the measurement taken?  From what I can recall I have heard some say from the front while others say above the key pin. </font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">Jack Houweling</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div><br></div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div><font face="Times New Roman" size="+1" color="#0000FF"><b>OVERS PIANOS - SYDNEY</b></font></div> <div><font color="#000000"><i>   </i></font><font color="#0000FF"><i>Grand Piano Manufacturers</i></font><font color="#000000"><br> _______________________</font></div> <div><font size="-2" color="#000000"><br> </font><font color="#000000">Web http://overspianos.com.au</font></div> <div><font color="#000000">mailto:ron@overspianos.com.au<br> _______________________</font></div> </body> </html>
