Did the Draupnir go through any design changes over its lifetime? ---

Didn’t they make a small change to the string gap pretty early on? I’ve been wondering if they are going to do a refresh on the draupnir ever since they did the valkyrie. I don’t feel like it needs a refresh, but there definitely needs to be more on the market. I’d love to find a pom draupnir, every time one pops up on the BST I’m always too late. I love hybrids so much. The draupnir, sigtyr and valkyrie are the most amazing trio of sibling yoyos. Mine all get a lot of playtime and I treasure them. The gorilla is my current yyr favorite but I’d let it go before I let the 3 sisters go. I’m very torn on the new valkyrie, given how much I like the gorilla I imagine I’ll love it, but it’s nothing like the OG valkyrie which kinda bugs me. I feel the same way about OD draupnir, it’s a totally different yoyo and even though its really good I don’t like it because it’s not a draupnir and should’ve been given its own name. ---

Yeah they made some major changes to the draupnir over the years ---

Sorry my bad, they had changed the gap width on the gold atuned Draupnir. You can see on the yoyo wiki page: [YoYoRecreation Draupnir | YoYo Wiki | Fandom](https://yoyo.fandom.com/wiki/YoYoRecreation_Draupnir) I don’t believe they made changes on the standard ones, since the gold version is pretty limited. Please do correct me if I’m wrong ^^ ![IMG_4129](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/7/8/778e674b53a7c19c8112c96875d758de42ed69d1.jpeg) ---

> [@Ne0phy73](#): > > That’s makes me wonder how incredible this yoyo is… Remember the whole diminishing returns thing here. I think the draupnir is special because it was so far ahead of its time and has stood the test of time incredibly well. It’s a legendary yoyo and any bimetal V shape is going to get compared to draupnir… which to me is plenty of reason to own one. It does have its own feel, but the hummingbird, elite 18, flash/flashback, sengoku’s kenshin and I don’t know how many others live in the same niche and which you might prefer is impossible for anyone else to guess. Is draupnir somehow better than all these? Nah, but its legendary which has an impact of all its own. ---

Seems like the gold one got its own variant name: Attuned Draupnir. That, along with its unique colorway, helps differentiate it from all other Draupnirs. ---

Yep, because aside from Attuned Draupnir, the normal Draupnir also has one in gold. Found this on Chinese BST, there are some crazy collectors out there… ![IMG_4130](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/a/c/8accf90efa976449da122172faea8204b8d19836.jpeg) ---

The black draupnir I owned was an attuned if I recall correctly. It didn’t have attuned engraving though. ---

It’s for preserving the yoyo from oxidating haha. Might be a little extreme with the wrap. ---

I can answer this for you! I sifted through the old YYR Appreciation Page for a Draupnir Documentary I wanna make. tl;dr: YYR released the Attuned Draupnir, they changed their logo, and every draupnir released after they changed their logo had the same gap width as the Attuned Draupnir.
