I don't recall this topic on the list before but it is good general knowledge to have. Does anyone know the years involved with this soft v-bar? Since I can't even get one note to be stable and the rest of the treble is shaky, I'll have to remedy the situation in order to sell it. Maybe dealers can push out this crap but I'm not willing to. Any reason why I couldn't use an easy material such as brass? Suggestions welcome. I'll also ease the sharp profile on the counter bearing duplex or replace it altogether with a half round or half oval. So much for profit. Integrity is more important. It's not like I'll be losing money it's just that it'll take more hours to attain the same amount, less profitable but more rewarding.
