Just been trying my fav florida link on my friend's 30m. It sounds great but is way too near the end of the neck when in tune. Is this the usual story with links/30m or does it vary from 30m to 30m? Any opinions about adding 3/4inch to the neck? It has taken me years to find my link and I'm loathe to change.

You really have to blow old conns down into tune, its probably just a change of how you are playing the link that will allow you to have it more pushed in on the cork. I have been playing various metal links on my 10M and they all tune around 7/8" - 1" of cork depending on the mp length. Try a softer reed.
