Hi David, I have not encountered short tails on Baldwin artist series grands, and the checks usually have a generous bulge. I routinely arc the tails on new grands, to attain high and solid checking in the bass. If the geometry is healthy, you can set the rep spring quite strong for improved repitition, and still get good ppp checking. The angle of rake is also important, to fit with the 2 1/2'' tail radius. It will work fine if the tail length is 3/4'' or more from bore centre. Regards Roger ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
