Ok, Since nobody solved the mystery question of where or how does one measure the dip/key travel... ???At red School house in 1976 we were instructed to measure the total key dip/travel from the under side of the key cover with a metric ruler.. It's a great visual reference point. Later, I?discovered for myself that I didn't like?10mm & preferred 10.5 instead? When using my gauge the measurement of .390? which again, is measured at slightly in front of the pin will yield a ruler reading result?at the front of the key of 10.5mm. But I no longer have to get bi-focal's & headlamps to try to read the little tiny numbers on the ruler. It's a gauge that is a magnifying glass not a microscope but its pretty dang close. ? Dale ? Hi Dale...? ? I thought I answered this already... perhaps I misunderstand exactly what your question is. After bedding and leveling, I use a standard 10 mm key dip block to do a rough setting of key dip, then do as good a regulation as I can, then refine key dip to achieve as even an aftertouch as I can. I like to double check letoff-drop and jack/rep-arm orientation as I go along in this aftertouch refinement. Sometimes a small adjustment in one of those is whats called for instead of a slight change in the dip.? ? I dont actually "measure" per se as I think I understand your query at all. Perhaps if you described what YOU do I might better understand what you are getting at.? ? Cheers? RicB? ? ? Ric? ? Ok, Good points. I was waiting for the answer but...ok... where &? ? How do YOU measure key dip?? ? Hmm? ? Dale? ? ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
