Hi Gregor,

 

I was the one who came up with the damper timing gauge. Someone shamelessly
took my idea 

and is now selling them. They were selling at the convention in Salt Lake
City at the Renner booth.

Thank you, Barbara. I did not know that it was featured in the Journal.

hi Gregor,

If you get the Journal, that gauge is featured in the January '09 TT&T
column.  Jack Houweling made it and handed it to me during the convention in
Anaheim. I promptly forgot  and later  posted the picture and question.

Long time ago somebody posted in this list a photo of a regulating gauge. It
was a transparent bar with magnets to fix on the strings. The thickness of
that bar was that of the typical half blow of upright dampers. The original
poster found that thing somewhere in his shop and could not remember where
he got that from. That produced some funny answers ("you got that from me
but forgot to pay the bill....").
 
Anyway, does anybody have that picture? Is it a gauge that is sold by a
piano supply?
