Upright Shank Length

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Jon, When the hammer starts to salute on its way to the string <G>
Always wanted a test subject to try out using CA on the shank of those
wobbly knee hammers in the tenor. Seems to me that a shank dipped in the
thin stuff and wiped off would wobble less allowing for more length.
Do you have a test subject?
