Goal: better resistance while maintaining intonation, response, and strength
Plan: Create steeper tapers overall, working closer to the rails. Remove very little cane.
Suggestions for Finer Work
- Is the second wire snug? Can you round the tube?
- Check the tip bevel
- Return to the DBL model to see more tests that can be performed.
