[CAUT] strikeweight

[Albert Picknell]

Well, while I've got the shanks still sitting in order, maybe I'll measure them and see.  I expect there'll be some kind of correlation in a general sense, but lots of shanks that deviate from the trend as well.  That's one of the things I love about working with wood.  It's so.... unpredictable.

  Albert,

When I visited Steingraeber in Germany in 2002 I saw that they always 
mount the shanks on the rail and then hit it with a little hammer and 
listened to the tone that way. I've heard reference to other German 
Companies using the technique as well. Since learning this I've 
often wondered if there is any correlation with the shank tone and 
sorting the shanks by Shank Strike (radius) Weight. It would be nice 
if they both went together!
