front or back

Yes to what Eric said, plus I like to put the tricord wedge in front 
because it is easier to see, hence, to regulate. Remember to have the 
back lift a "tad" earlier than the front of the damper. This ensures 
that the wedge is resting fully on and in between the strings. The 
pad should be just resting on the strings.
