Another use for the fake credit cards is an index for spacing damper heads. I use a translucent card and scribe parallel lines about the width of a unison. Align the index lines along the string impressions in the felt and bend the wire to center the felt under the marks. In the photo, the top two heads are relocated. I use a checkering file to resurface the flats and trim when done spacing. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
