Right now those hybrid tips are the only option. I've got a few on the way, after having sold my first two (too short). I'm not crazy about the 11mm, but it will do. Have you asked Rick Eagle if he has any more? I think they're gone but it's worth checking. If not, watch for the sales. They'll happen.
Kat's already got one, a wide bore that we won with a BB in a raffle on Friday night, and she said it's performing nicely. I'm looking forward to getting my package.
But she also has a very special one that was hand press-fitted by the master himself, DD. It came in a box with my beautiful L'Orange (zip it, haters) back on my birthday last year. I kept it a secret for the longest time, but now that all this other stuff is out, I'm lettin' loose.
It's one of a kind, top by Atmistique, brass screw by BBV. And it's MARVELOUS.
DD, I never did publicly thank you for that, so now that I can.... THANK YOU!!!! It contributed to one of the best birthdays of my life (true, dat).
Sorry it's so dirty in this pic - it was before I shipped out west. It's much prettier now that she's caring for it. Temporarily, of course. Right, Kat?
