Leave them long so I can get the tail length I need. Don't want my tails arced or the cove cut either. All I need is a hammer that has a fairly solid core to build tone with. I'll do all the rest.</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>I order Ronsen Wurzen with a molding about 1/8" longer than the longest hammer will</div> <div>be and trim all the tails to length after they're hung.  With a 'standard bore' set some string heights leave you with a tail length less than 1". This way I'm insured a tail of 1 1/16"</div> <div>consistently.</div> <div><br></div> <div>So when I order a set, I specify, unbored, extra long molding and uncoved. The cove</div> <div>only removes about .3g and is not worth the effort. I've had some sets where the cove</div> <div>was so deep or low, I couldn't arc the tail the way I wanted to.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Regulation goes so much easier with a custom set.</div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> <div><br> Regards,<br> <br> Jon Page</div> </body> </html>
