I don't normally measure the tip because I know approximately just how thin it needs to get (about .03 on the corners, thicker as it gets to the integration line.)

I measure 9 spots in the heart; 3 spots in the channels (between the rails and the spine) on each side, and 3 spots on the spine.

Heart: Closest to the tip

.43 .47 .43
.46 .51 .46
.43 .47 .43

This sometimes varies a .01 of a millimeter depending on the hardness of the cane and the gouge, but usually around these numbers.

Right behind the heart at the thinnest place of the heart I measure around .35.

Usually when I get extra buzz in my sound it's because one side is thicker than the other.

Hope this helps.

Also, there's a chart on Martin Schuring's website.
