I order Ronsen Wurzen with a molding about 1/8" longer than the longest hammer will be and trim all the tails to length after they're hung. With a 'standard bore' set some string heights leave you with a tail length less than 1". This way I'm insured a tail of 1 1/16" consistently. So when I order a set, I specify, unbored, extra long molding and uncoved. The cove only removes about .3g and is not worth the effort. I've had some sets where the cove was so deep or low, I couldn't arc the tail the way I wanted to. Regulation goes so much easier with a custom set. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
