K3 bail height

[Keith Bainbridge-2]

After owning my K3 for over 6 months now I still find the height of the
bail annoying.
Is there anyone out there interested in making a lower height bail, say
30 mm or 1.125" lower ??
As it stands it gives me a pain in the wrist tuning around, and I spend
a lot of time tuning around as here in Western Australia there certainly
isn't too much to hear on ANY band at present!!

Keith -

If you need it lowered that much, perhaps just put something under the
front feet?

That was going to be my suggestion until you beat me to it.  I was
measuring the bail projection from the bottom of the feet and find it is
1.75 inches, so a 0.5 inch thick piece of something (wood, plastic,
paperback book, etc) under the front feet will produce the requested
result.  That is too small to even consider a bail.
