Significant? This is a really big hall (a bit less than 3500 seats), so power is an issue. Right now (with Crescendo punchings) dip is at .401" (my .391 block with a .010" punching added), blow around 1 3/4" with .030" aftertouch. It feels a lot better <to me> than when the blow was at 1 7/8", though I didn't have any complaints when the dip was deeper. I did go back and read a bunch of stuff in the archives about dip and folks reported that they didn't have complaints about deep dip, but I don't recall anyone getting real specific about how deep they were actually willing to go. Thanks for sharing your experience, Barbara Richmond, RPT Blow should be closer to 1 7/8" Dip should be in the .400 range, as has been mentioned, as long as you have after touch. One thing I try for, and have had no complaints, is a real tight let off. I try to get as close to the string as possible, less than 1/16", which then also allows you to reduce drop slightly, which give you a little more breathing room for the aftertouch.
