List, FWIW to anyone, I think I may have made my Lowell down bearing guage a little more bearable. I've noticed that while trying to set the feet on the string each time it wanted to rock a little towards the adjustment screw side. I thought it was a weight issue so I got a small key lead weight and taped it under the horizontal body of the gauge right behind the adjustment screw. Now it seems to work a great deal better and I think I've at least achieved the consistency that I was looking for. I also made an even deeper groove on the feet and that seemed to help too. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. Greg Newell Greg's piano Forté mailto:gnewell@ameritech.net
