Default update

Here are some shots with chromatic stops now in place. I made the brass parts on my little Clausing mill.

Sorry for the late reply. The hardware reminds me a bit of Arnold's as well as Jeff's brackets. The Fingers look nice and similar as well.

Thumbs up Jacquet goes Chromatic..

Here's some pics of *my Jacquet we took a few weeks ago but were just loaded in recently (*in the process of being sold at the time of posting.)



I have to count carefully how many Chromatic C-Extensions Arnold has made for me. Jeff made 2 so far and will make a 3rd for the Mougenot when it's fully restored...

Ok, counted them.. Arnold has made 6 of them so far including my Panormo school Bass which was just re-photographed to show the extension. I will post that one as soon as Mike loads in the new pics.

Of the 6 from Arnold, 3 of them, the latest made have the adjustable brackets. All of Jeff's do as well. The Hart bass actually has Jeff's brackets but the extension and fingers by Arnold.
