How is the noise for this? I haven’t really played a premium plastic and heard like for instance the iceberg is loud - is this also loud? looks really cool though!!

It is definitely audible. If you have the plastic Fulvia it sounds similar. There’s some good reviews of the Fulvia that should give you an idea of the sound.

Here is the other twin and the walnut cousin. The oak has such a nice weight to it. Thank you @Eric_Newlin, awesome job.

Received a couple Things from DocPop today. The tuning on the DocPop edition is just about perfect. For me at least.

Really curious what you think of the 2023 Genesis?

Just started playing around with it. It does have some of the feel of the old genesis, but definitely some modern touches. The hand feel is immediately noticeably different, but i think it’s more comfy. So far, I’m digging it! Smooth and brings back some of the old charm. It’s quite fun!

I guess you could say today was a good mail day…

Thank you @Ardeus for the Daytripper and @Eric_Newlin for shipping it so carefully packaged! And of course @Pox because without you it would never have been possible. And such an awesome counterweight from @DedHed

Are you using them freehand?

Mine is whisper quiet. I did have to lube it after about an hour after playing it but now it’s super quiet and wicked smooth. The green fulvia I have is the same super quiet. The grey one though, it’s a bit more audible. I haven’t really lubed that one though. I wouldn’t worry about the sound too much if you maintain the bearing. They are so super smooth, it’s ridiculous honestly. Mono plastics shouldn’t play this good hahaha!
