This paddle was on display at Dayton, (If memory serves me correctly)
and I got to use it. I observed the same thing, but if you like
wider spacing, I remember that you can "flip" the arms so the paddles
mount outside and push on the brass. Might also be simple enough to
add a piece of brass stock that the screw pushes against to reinforce things.

It looks to be a fine piece of engineering, Eric, apart from the
paddles which seem very fragile. Considering that the force of the
thumb and index finger will be pushing against the paddles which
only have a screw head supporting them, my guess is that one would
need to be very light fisted. Just an observation from the picture
- I could be wrong.
