I believe the eH has been a once a year run, usually released in December. I have a 2015 version, and, it is the bees knees.
Based on the hype around 2015 and 2016, Iām expecting any future releases to be near impossible to miss, unless you wind up stranded on a desert island with no wifi or cell signal.
Yeah, like French said, itās typically been an end of the year release. Iām guessing it will continue this year, but I donāt think anything has been discussed yet as far as wood type/shape etc.
Andre, Colin, and I usually chat around September to see if all parties are down to do it again and how/whether we might change it. I never expected to get to do ONE production run of the eH, let alone the five weāve done at this point. Surreal and unbelievable that it has lasted like this. If we WERE to do it again, what would people like to see changed.
Chamfer or round off the rims. I know you made it sharp on purpose to get a little extra rim weight out there but itās not worth it to me. It would be really easy to kick up the comfort to the next level. Just personal preference. I did it myself to the 2014 version.
I know Iāve talked to you about what I think would be cool, as well as Andreā¦and Colin ;D
But I think itād be cool to have a maple eH. Maybe the āeH Classicā model, as Maple has long been used in fixed axle yoyos. Maple is easy to work with, sturdy, breaks in real nice, and could be ācheapā as well. May allow for a larger, but lower priced, run of eHās to let more people in on the fun
Love the current shape of the past few eHās, Love the axle system that Colin came up with. But would love a maple version ;D
same. Iād love to support some quality fixed axle players by getting a quality yoyo, but $85 is a lot of money. A run of more affordable maples would be sweeeeet!
As mentioned I havenāt even thought about bringing it up to Colin or Andre yet, but the maple idea is a good one. In the beginning, we liked using oak because that was what the original was made from and maple was so common. But now it feels kind of unique and interesting to make an eH from that lol.
It would be cool to do a larger set of maple along with a very few higher end hardwoods.
Always cool to hear ideas about where this yoyo should go.
Maybe a run with a larger number of the exotic choices available. I think if more were made of each type theyād still get gobbled up. The ebony was beautiful.
I like the ideas of both maple and Lignum vitae, although, Iām not sure how the latter would affect price. Really, Iām up for maple due to it being the āclassicā fixed axle wood, and, really any other wood that has an interesting grain pattern. I like my wood yoyos to start life pretty and then get beautiful through use!
As a fellow musician, I think it would be cool to have some painted, or finished to resemble some classic guitar styles, (black and white strats, maybe a Gibson style burst finish) I think it would be unique, and they would look cool as they start to wear, like an old relic instrumentā¦ Just an idea
A laminate would be really nice. Also it should be set up to be able to do Spirit Bomb and Shoot the Moon on consecutive throwsā¦ also I canāt do Spirit Bomb on a fixie, so it should come with those tricks pre-installed.
