I have one harpsichord with this system, a traverso spinet by Paul Irvin from 1989. Works beautifully, and no need to crawl on the floor to adjust elevator screws twice a year. It especially makes sense for transposing instruments, since the elevator screws must be let all the way down in order to allow the keyframe to slide; getting them back exactly where they were is not always easy. (For our European members: North American instruments must have some sort of climate adjustment, especially if they are to live on the East Coast or in the Midwest. If you use neither elevator screws nor the belly-dangle that Owen describes, you are stuck with an adjustment screw on the bottom of each of jack--and that is a pain, let me tell you!)
