Julie,

Some of the supply houses sell electronic gram scales, but there are less
expensive alternatives.  Here's a link to the one I use.
http://www.digitalscale.com/mx200.htm

Google on "gram scale" to see all that's out there.  In addition to working
with action weights, I've begun mixing epoxy by weight.  The gram scale has
let me work with batches as small as I need, instead of having to mix in
increments of "pumps", and has probably paid for itself in saved epoxy.

Mike

Put 20 grams on the front of the key, zero your scale, and then put the
10 grams on the capstan !!


Greetings,

  ,          What kind of scale is this? Can you get one at Schaff? What are
some other piano parts sources? Thanks in advance. I love this list. You
guys are great!
