A flexible ruler, made from spring-tempered stainless steel
Schilbach’s new flexible ruler, made from spring-tempered stainless steel, can be bent to measure curved surfaces such as fingerboards and instrument bodies. The ruler is 0.2mm thick, 16mm wide and either 15cm or 30cm long. It has deburred edges to reduce the risk of causing scratches, and its printed scale is lasered on so that it does not rub off after repeated use.
