<DIV>When I re-felt a set of grand damper heads, I always use jigs when
gluing on monochord, bichord, and 2 trichord pieces. The jig aligns the front
and back pieces so that they're perfectly in line with each other- -this makes
regulation much easier. It's hard enough to do an A-1 damper job normally, but
to try to do it when the front and rear dampers don't line up on some damper
heads is near impossible. Is the use of jigs common among technicians, or
am I the odd ball out there?</DIV>
