i would like as much information and as many personal experiences
that any of
you have had with the synthetic wheels being used lately.
the first synthetic wheel I saw was that of an hungarian instrument
somewhen in the late eighties. I remember that it was said to be
standard for its maker.
Since 1999 I play an instrument with a wheel made from synthetic foam.
Its maker makes all wheels from that material for something like the
last ten years with many of his instruments under heavy duty usage. I
myself use the instrument every day and under all conditions you might
imagine. I never experienced any problems which I could trace back
onto the material of the wheel. I think the steel axle looks more worn
than the wheel :-)
kind regards,
Simon
