Tom, thanks for emailing me your web site. So your patents are in audio circuit design? Vinyl record technology? Or for cello end pins?
I’d love to hear the audio clips of your end pins versus carbon fiber. Looking at a waveform tells nothing useful. And why did you choose carbon fiber for comparison? My end pin is typical, regular steel, and it works fine with sufficient mass and rigidity. Unfortunately there’s no way to perform a controlled test. Even Yo-yo Ma can’t play the same passage exactly the same twice in a row. But being able to hear what was played, and how it was played, is needed to assess how your end pin is different. For all anyone can tell, those recorded waveforms were from completely different notes.
That said, why are there no prices on your web site? I hate when vendors force you to ask them for prices. When I see that I assume the seller is hoping to rope me in and get me to like him with chit chat, then he’ll hit me with an outrageous price. Or worse, that the seller wants to size me up to determine how much money I have and how much I’d be willing to pay. So when I see sites like that I just leave. I bet many people feel the same way.
Finally, I’m certain there’s a way to properly compare your 70 pound battery on the floor versus hoisted up on a platform. Have you ever done that?
