Hello David N and List

That method of attaching the check tapes is the norm in UK. When they get
old and break and the leather tips break up and the whole shebang needs
re-taping then, regardless of how they were attached, I glue them to the
back of the balance hammer. It works. Attachment at the butt is not
necessary and is at best likely to come off in time. I do use "clip-ons" but
only in an emergency when there is no time to wait for the glue to dry.

Regards

Michael G.(UK)

    That's what I usually do, also.  Someone remarked a while back that 

he thought using the cork or clip-on straps was unprofessional and that 

the only way to go was to glue them into the butt along with the catcher 

shank.  But I serviced a studio upright two weeks ago where the bridles 

were originally glued by the factory into where the catcher is glued to 

the catcher shank, and not into the butt.   Only one I've ever seen like 

that (done by the factory, that is).  --David Nereson, RPT
