Ted,for some one in your shoes the balmoral is dead easy! Could'nt be easier in fact! As you know, the balmoral has a bow on the back, all you have to do is centre the bow knot on the back of your head(by feel) and the rest is correct! Then run your finger around the rim, to get the height right around your brow, ears etc. and Bob's your uncle, its correctly placed on your head! I do that all the time, particularly if there is no mirror to hand.
