<P>Just thought I'd share a little cool way I found to measure vertical piano letoff quickly and accurately. Initially, a tech friend of mine showed me three pieces of wood with that flexible magnetic strip on the back of each. One for each section. About 1/4" thick for the bass, and 1/8th" for the treble. </P>
<P>Since I have a regulating job tomorrow, and didn't have time to hunt down the various items, I thought I'd rummage around the shop to see what I could come up with. Oh, the magnet doesn't stick to the copper windings, so no use for the magnetic strip there. Anyway, I found a couple of wood paint stirring things and discovered that they are just about exactly 1/8th" thick! The next finding is that when you sandwich two together you have letoff for the bass! And the best part is, no magnet needed as they sit right on top of the dampers and stay there right up against the strings and right at the strike point. Cheap, fast, effective! Of course, someone probably thought of this LONG before I did; or maybe not.</P>
