I was hoping Jeffrey might introduce a new discretionary label of 'Honored Expert'. I had requested that I could be 'Clueless Contributor' but he just sent me a reply with a row of question marks . We should start a petition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful! Thank you! I wonder how many antique shops in Cincinnati have Deganis lying neglected on a shelf waiting for someone to come in and risk $100 on them?

I don't notice any problems playing with it, and I am not sure the risks involved with straightening it would be worth taking if it isn't going to add any real improvement to its performance. Is the stick straight when you loosen the adjuster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camber is good. When hair is loose, it bends a tiny bit to the right, and when tightened, a tiny bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bend is naturally following the grain alignment, so I'm sure it shouldn't be straightened. Can you please show us a photo of the back of the head showing the grain angle?

It is challenging for me to even see the fine grain with my eyes. If anything, I'd say the grain looks horizontal across the back of the head. BTW, congrats on posting pictures!

In my opinion this makes for a more lively playing bow. But this is a slightly taboo subject I think because aesthetics and dynamics are two different issues.
