Horrace (and anyone else);
I made up a couple, one 20" and one 22", both have a wider base. I should be able to get away with this post as I am not really trying to sell these, I would rather show my work so that y'all can copy it. My latest version fixes a few minor problems (looser holes for the adjusting screws, washers with the wing nuts, wider base to avoid the hammer tails). My $75 price tag was intended to frighten you into Home Depot for the parts, but I can make them for anyone who wants one.
If this gets deleted because of improper marketing advertising... well that's humanity for you...

Hi, Blaine,
Sounds very much like the one I already have.
My goal is to have one in the shop; and one to carry.
I've not found any drawbacks to the design.
Kind regards.

The only issue with the let-off jig is making it wide enough to accomodate the widest hammer section. Mine is 20" long with a 17" working section and I have yet to find a piano where it doesn't work. There is no reason to have it short enough for any section; longer is better. You only need to adjust it for each section you are working in. You can work on a table, on an action cart like the La Roy cart or in your lap.
It isn't perfect, but it does work. I use it regularly.

LaRoy Edwards' jig is simply the grand action version of using a vertical hammer rail to set LO. The only draw back with his, which you'll discover, is that its width is fixed, creating the situation of the guide LOs not being the section ends. But when you see how simple it is to make, you can make a collection of them to fit pianos other than Yamaha.
The Taut-Line is completely adjustable for action sections of different widths.
