New ferrule: thoughts, suggestions...

[DeanH]

I think the term pigeon ring ferrule refers to the ferrules that are short in length, i.e. they don't do down the shaft as much as the standrd ferrule.

A new a shouldn't have asked a daft question

The material I've been experimenting with is an alloy of nickel, aluminium and bronze.
Plays amazing.

Sounds interesting doc. Is it better than mw blackspin technology in your opinion? Playability wise i mean?

[The Doctor]

I guess it depends on individual. The black spin does offer a low defection as does my nylon ferrule but this stuff has a more traditional feel to it, like brass but is harder.
I just like to try different things. This material is pretty expensive though.

[justf]

Sounds good, worth a try. Does it stand upto wear and tear like brass? Tip changing, sanding, removing old superglue etc? What do you think cost of ferrule would be?

Thats some expensive stuff

First quotes incoming: titan ferrule (drilled, from metalworks company), 9mm/8/0.5 (caliber/height/thickness): about €75.
A little expensive for my taste.
