I assume that you are referring to the "width" of the balance rail button "slot". Although, it takes up some valuable time, I recommend making the appropriate "cauls" out of maple. I did this years ago and it has worked just fine, for those occasional Knabe/Chickering/?? that used that type of button. Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon)
