    I hate to quote Larry The Cable Guy but..... " I don't care who you are. That's funny"

    Oh... hahaha, that is funny 😁. The cut punching was glued on the side that the player plays. That would increase the action ratio rather than lower it, right?

    (That could have been one of the "tooners" near me who knows he can cut the punchings to make it lighter... I'm pretty sure he doesn't know about the rest of the process or why it works.)

    Yes that's exactly right, or wrong in this case.

    Hi, David,

    You mean besides it's a pre-accelerated action, the punchings are on the
    wrong side; and they're glued in place?

    Hope all is well.

    Kind regards.

    Horace

    Yes, and I have a friend who used to twist bass strings backwards, too!
