> Jan, I think you have your knuckles on backwards. > The smooth direction should augment jack return and the rough direction > provides a firm purchase of the jack on the knuckle for a blow. > Newton > Newton, According to Laroy Edwards, Yamaha does just the opposite to preserve the knuckle as long as possible. Smooth nap going out and rougher coming in. I believe I heard this at a Yamaha class sometime ago. I also believe there is not much difference in todays knuckles as far as the nap is concerned. ilvey, RPT
