Decal placement rule of thumb

[Richard Moody]

The first or second letter of the name should go above middle C.  For height
you could mark the old position on a piece of paper and reposition the new
one according, or tape it on and move it up and down until a picture hanging
expert would agree. Using the half of the length of the fall board can throw
it off because the bass cheek block is usually wider than the treble.  They
don't call it middle C for nuthin.      ---ric
