I used 2 string lines about 8 in apart thru bullseye holes in ea form, upon setup consequently it was an easy painless task to align both vertically and horizontally. It's been sitting for many months, but I still get a note out of the string lines when I pluck them, so checking even now is possible for the forms that I can see. Even tho it's a little late to do anything about it. (well, there's always the chainsaw!)
