another system , sold by Jahn in Germany, and very similar, but the =
driving of
the tool is made based on the recess hole that was produced on most =
keyboards
and lay inside the key.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=222362823-03032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =
size=2>Then
the little angle that is between the balance hole and the mortise is =
better
respected. We also produce (violin) spruce and other species washers =
ourselves.
our dimension is 20 mm.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

process is very good, no doubt the Onesti tool does also a very good
job.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=222362823-03032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =
size=2>One
may simply not forget to angle slightly when drilling the place for the =
wood
washer after measuring the angle, so the direction of the balance pin is =
respected, it is important if they are thin (3.2 mm), as we can't =
correct it
while drilling the hole in the washer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

keyboards are drilled initially the balance rail and the keys are =

<DIV><SPAN class=222362823-03032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =

is the way the perfect fit between keys and balance rail is obtained , =
and the

the
keyboards. I avoid also the keys to jump when =
