I should add that these will be played a lot by salt water where the weather changes every 30 minutes. It is hard on skins.

One of my Gon Bops had the side plates moved. They both had holes for the stand brackets too. I plugged all the holes with oak doweling and was really surprised at the the difference it made for the better. You could actually hear it.
