    I missed the beginning of this thread but you can always take a =
dremel and=20
    take off a bit of the inside of the tail, if you've left enough wood =
in the=20
    tailing process.  You don't need much to give clearence so that the =
tails=20
    don't click on the whippen flange.  =20

  It's not hammer tail hitting the wippen flange. What Terry is talking =
about=20
  is an Aeolian type wippen, that has a small metal bracket that goes =
over the=20
  top of the balancier of the wippen. It is there to prevent the top of =
the=20
  balancier to raise too much. (I don't understand why, or how it does =
that,=20
  but this is supposedly why it is there.)=20
