I'm not saying it's better, just that it is a different approach.

That's a 14.16 foot radius.
Here is a handy calculator that will crunch the numbers if anyone wants it.

And yeah, precision in some regards isn't required to make a good sounding instrument. My brain wants to know and be intentional with things that I can be intentional with though.
