Practical Concert Work

[Richard Brekne]

This is something I've heard before as well.  Tho you end up with quite 
a bit more let off in the bass then the treble... not that that is a 
huge problem.

I agree with the consensus coming through that 3mm let off is quite a 
distance... and certainly not within what I would term a concert regulation.

Glad you all seem to have gotten your june issues and had a chance to 
read this.  Struck me immediatly as a good thing to throw back and forth 
a bit on the list.

Cheers
