I'm posting this anonymously to protect his/her identity. I'm planning to send him/her a copy of the responses. I'm also interested to know whether you think I'm out of line, here.
<BR>
<BR>Questions:
<BR>
<BR>1) How many turns should there be in a tuning pin coil in the tenor section of
<BR>an S&S "B?"
<BR>2) Should the tail of a string pass over one duplex scale bar, or between two?
<BR>3) Should a single string hitchpin loop contact/cross a duplex bar?
<BR>4) Should the wires be parallel as they leave the hitchpin?
<BR>5) Should stringing braid be installed in an S&S "B?"
<BR>6) Should a reshaped hammer resemble a(n):
<BR> a) egg shape
<BR> b) rounded diamond shape
<BR> c) rounded hatchet shape
<BR>7) Should new damper felts (regulated) effectively dampen?
<BR>8) If you were rebuilding an S&S "B" and a pedal was wobbly, would you pop out the pedal assembly and tighten the screws while you were at it?
<BR>9) If you were a PTG examiner, would you use your rank to try and intimidate someone who disagreed with one aspect of your work?
<BR>10) Rebuilders: Does a technician have to chose to do bellywork in order for you to consider his/her opinion?
<BR>
<BR>Actually, only rebuilders need respond, as he/she made clear that those were the only people he/she would respect in any way.
