Grand hammer tail shape.

[Doug Mahard]

Hi one and all,

What are the criteria used in determining grand hammer tail taper shape.  Is
it factors of clearence with neighboring parts and weight reduction?  As
most of you know, the Korean pianos come through with none of this done,
just the tail arcing and some very rough ridges for checking purposes that
always seem to tear up the backchecks prematurely.

Thanks and a good weekend to all.
