Brumley trim-gauge

[Barbara Richmond]

Thanks Dave. I thought the beauty of the Brumley was to have a multi-use tool, too, that packs easily in a tool kit.  The 4" Brumley only expands to 7"--  And then the next size is 8".  Dang.   There are other things it can be used for, like placing hardware and some other things that if my brain wasn't fried and I had my notes in front of me, I could tell you about.  ;-)

Actually, I use a German-made tape measure that I got from Ford Piano Supply (yikes, if that doesn't date me!), which has a window on the "box"--the measurement read there includes the box.  It's standard and metric. Maybe I'll take a picture of it.  I've asked a couple piano suppliers to look into carrying it, but no luck so far.

  Barbara:

   

  Are you familiar with this string height gauge on page 70 of the new Schaff Catalog?  I've had this one for 30 years.

  Allen,

   

  It's in the May issue of the Journal in TT & T.  Speaking of the BrumleyTrim-Gauge, I talked with its maker, Steve Brumley, and told him how I would like to see at least a 5" or 6" gauge so it could be used for measuring string height.  He was interested that piano technicians would find it useful.
