First - insert disclaimer here. That means that this isn't necessarily
right, but what I'd do. With the original board, I wouldn't load it all
that heavy. Maybe 1/3° in the low tenor, up to about 1 1/4° at the top end.
Somewhere in that range. With the roll pins, you can always change it if
you want to experiment a little, but that's about where I'd start.
