Ok - I tried this today tuning a Baldwin 243. It was really close, so there was not alot of 'force and set' necessary. The bottom line is: It will take some getting use to. I use a Charles Faulk Hammer with a large ball-end to my specs, and I find the 'nudging' motion that I like to use is much easier pushing up with the meat around my thumb as opposed to the pressure of my fingers going down..which means I like to set from the sharp side. Cy, I like it, and I'll get use to it. Thanks, -Phil Bondi(Fl)
