         This is what I've heard as well.  I assume you're 
referring to the Fujan.   I find myself having to change tips 
and heads all the time -- almost every day.  Either there's a 
high plate strut or a pronounced overhang on the top rim of an 
upright's plate, or the pins are impossibly close together in 
the low tenor (Wurtilizer spinets) and I have to change to the 
thin-wall tip, or the thing's been re-pinned with #5's, etc.
