Cremona Mandolin Rail
By Bob and Sonja Lemon

I need some information regarding the mounting of the Cremona-style
mandolin attachment.  How far away from the strings should the
flags/paddles sit?  What is the distance between the flags and the
strings when the hammers make contact?  What is the distance of the
hammer shanks from the strings when the hammers make contact?  Any
help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
