Silver necks

Steve-O
Are the solid silver necks happening yet? Will I have to sell a kidney to buy one for my tenor?

Maybe not a kidney, but they are not going to be cheap......tenor necks will be around $750, alto necks most likely the same.....I've been shopping factories trying to get the price down, but there is a very limited group of people who can do this sort of thing to the standard of quality we require.

Will you have these necks available for older horns, specifically Conns?

Probably not unless we can become convinced there is enough demand to justify the tooling costs, which are substantial.

Yes....I think we have the manufacturing issues resolved. Since we were NOT hydroforming these, we were having a problem with a high rejection rate, which was driving up the cost. We've revised the bending jigs, and it seems to be working.
