<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everybody,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wonder what kind of device you use =
for
levelling keys.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I use the aluminium yamaha straight =
edge which is
very handy and practical.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I've noticed that it is not as =
straight as it
was when new.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It has warped a little since I bought =
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I'm considering in buying a new
one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or is there a way to accurately make =
one that
will harldy warp or loose its "straightness"?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A guy I know who went to the Yamaha =
Academy in
Japan told me that they were selling another type of straight edge
there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It consists of a wooden core, and two =
plexiglas
bars glued to the wooden core (making sort of a "wood & plexi"
sandwich).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And then it is calibrated with a =
machine so it is
straight.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe there is a way to build the =
same edge with
good accuracy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
