Craig Sawyers Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Glad to hear that you got everything sorted out. Have you tried any older tubes that you may have aquired recently? Running new Winged C EL34's at the moment. Showing up the limitation of the CD player (Tube Technology CD64) at the moment, so will correct that first, and then try out the NOS Mullards. I'm going to have to tear myself away from listening to the BH + O2's and get the T2 up and running now that I have repair parts. I bought 20 K216's on the basis that these seem to be the thing that goes phut in quantity if anything else goes wrong in the T2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattonrice Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Excellent timing! I just got a load of extra sand and some 4686's for the batteries. Have you given them a whirl yet? Where'd you get your o2's from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Sawyers Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Where'd you get your o2's from? Oxford Audio Consultants . Made the salesman's day - I walked in, payed him a lot of money and walked out. Five minute deal. The price in the UK is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin gilmore Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) The harder the wood, the better, and no cracks required. My old wood pusher retired and closed his business... I found a new wood pusher, will post link with good pictures later today. What i really want now is a piece of the absolutely solid black wood that they make clarinets out of. Will look like an anodized aluminum knob, but will be made of wood. Next up: Iridium knob Edited October 15, 2010 by kevin gilmore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already offered to get a chunk for Kevin from the same wood supplier that I got the LV from. Just need to find some time to go visit them.

The drawer pulls on the oak drawers I made are from brown mallee burr. I love the stuff so much I have a huge chunk set aside for future projects.

luvdunhill Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 no, Grenadilla is what clarinets (and oboes) are traditionally made from. they aren't really solid black, though, they are typically dyed.

Craig Sawyers Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 no, Grenadilla is what clarinets (and oboes) are traditionally made from. they aren't really solid black, though, they are typically dyed. Grenadilla is just an alternative name for Blackwood - Dalbergia melanoxylon. Other names for the same wood are Mozamique Ebony (though it is not an ebony, which are Diospyros species), Mpingo and Pau Preto. And yes - for some bizarre reason they dye the black wood black. I play the clarinet, by the way, so I know from first hand experience the sort of black muck that comes off a brand new Selmer clarinet until you get it well played in.

Voltron Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Reks actually responded to Marc's "um, ebony?" comment, and I am guessing that he knows grenadilla = blackwood. Now preparing for clarinet geek fight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
