Hello everyone.
A long time I think of a way to optimize the work of leveling the keyboard piano.
Admit, is perhaps the most tedious and tiring job of the piano regulation.
It is also very inconvenient to do at the home of a client.
Another problem is the feeling of insecurity that has given the pressure on the key opportunity to measure the key dip.
Recently I built an aluminum ruler with an LED lamp in your rear for each key. It helped a lot. Especially in the task of correcting the individual inclination.
There is a company offering a device called "Quickey Leveler"
(Www.http://www.levelwithme.net).
He promises to do all the work quickly and with better perfection (see the device
"Dip Precision Force Gauge).
I'm about to close with them.
Very colleagues here in Brazil see a bit of exaggeration on my part because the device full costs about $ 2,000.
So these days by chance I came across a youtube video showing that Yamaha has a very similar process (http://youtu.be/k_kofJMhF_c)
What do you think?

Ok, some help with translating is needed here!

I understand that it is an aluminum bar which should be put over the keyboard and there is light coming from the back side of it, so, if the key is too low, you can see the light through the little gap between top surface of the key and bottom surface of the aluminum bar. Am I right Francisco?

I have been using the WNG key stick with a really small flouresent lamp for back lighting. Also works great for any damper work.

Yes! That is correct. See the picture.
Sorry for my English.

back up light?

No worries, Francisco, all in good fun! That actually looks like a pretty cool device.

Any review about Www.http://www.levelwithme.net ?

levelwithme looks like a very cool tool and software to have, but I can only wonder about the price...

The complete kit will cost $ 2,000.00.
The seller is very attentive.
He also rents to test.

Yikes.
