I received one of two El Mijo yoyos I ordered today. I believe it is the older version. It is beautiful, I have the red (pink) one. Perfect fit and finish and it comes with several spare parts and a bearing removal tool.
I replaced the “thick” bearing with the included “thin” bearing - D size. I placed a small drop of lube on the new bearing as I like responsive throws.
It throws flawlessly, just as I like. (It reminds me of my RBC.) It is very smooth and is comfortable in the hand during play.
The amazing thing: It sings as you throw it. It actually emits a pleasant tone as you are playing. I have never had another yoyo that has this behavior. Maybe mine is unique?
If it’s a splash color (red/pink?) then it’s the original version. The very recently released 6061 version only has 4 solid colors that I am aware of. (dark red, teal, royal blue, and grey) They also have 6061 engraved on the rims.
Thanks guys! @fos1 the one you received is the 7075 version and yes, it makes like a singing sound. As @AKYOYOMIKE mentioned, the reason of that particular sound is because it is hollowed.
You are also correct @Malachi, the new version has the 6061 engraved to differentiate it from the 7075 version.
I actually identified the pitch of one of my yo-yos. Could be used as a tuner. I wondered if all of the same model rang at the same pitch. Probably, or most likely yes.
Playing these 2 today unresponsive for comparison.
You won’t be disappointed with either such great slim yoyos. I have not tried fixed 6061 yet, but I’ll probably do that to tomorrow.
Hello fellowship of the Yoyo! I have a Mijo and really like the sound it makes when you throw it
I like the singing of his steel as they would say in game of thrones.
I also hope to receive soon my 6061 that preordered
I received a blue 6061 version from the pre-order yesterday (5/2/2022). Just like the earlier version it is flawless and plays well beyond my capability.
