Kromski Sonota
   
Here are the details:
Single drive
Orifice height: 30" but adjustable so that it can be several inches
higher.
Wheel diameter: 19"
Elastic drive band.
The front and rear maidens use a "plastic" bearing
Wheel rotates on ball bearings.
Ratios: 6.7, 12.5 and 14 to 1 using a standard Sonata flyer
Two other flyers will also be available for the Sonata; just the
flyer is needed ( and front maiden for Jumbo), not a different head:
Larger and slower: ratios to be announced in a few weeks. Orifice:
18mm/ .70 inches. New bobbin for this size; 4" in diameter.
Faster flyer: ratios to be announced, but high end will be 18:1 -
using regular bobbin.
Folded dimensions: 22"x19"
Weight: 11.5lbs. Sits very firmly on the floor; has cushioned feet.
Includes 3 bobbins (and on this wheel only, the bobbin bushings will
be nylon) and threading hook. This wheel arrives assembled, but
folded; because it is easy to assemble no video will be included.
Optional padded bag (see picture): this is a very nice bag with heavy
duty padding all around. The base has a padded platform that the
folded wheel rides on so no amount of dropping is going to hurt the
wheel. Big outside pocket will hold lots of stuff. Shoulder strap
and hand grab strap. Durable material. Green with tan trim. If
ordered with the wheel the wheel and bag will be in one box saving
shipping costs.
Architecture: As with other Kromski wheels, lots of turns and
interesting wood features. As much as any folding wheel can have
"old time" looks, the Sonata has it.
Clear finish. However, our first shipment will include 25% of the
wheels in walnut. This will be a one time offering with a slightly
higher price. I can not make any promise that this color will ever
appear again so plan accordingly.
Here are the retail prices. All Sonatas come with bag:
Sonata, clear finish: $520.00 retail
Sonata, walnut finish: $540.00 retail
Sonata Jumbo Flyer - $83.00
Fast Flyer $54.00
