Fallboard lock position

in my case i decided that the far bass end was best.  this kept the base of
the lock out of sight as much as possible during recitals.

the biggest mistake i have found is when the lock is installed by non-techs
who install it right over the screw for the bass key block.  (what a pain
in the bass!)
