[CW] For Sale

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Hello Richard,

Welcome to the CW reflector.

I know that you prefer the keys you're keeping but I know that all of
Piero's keys are works of art but they all have different feel to
them.

Could you give us a little comparison between the Begali Blade and the
Begali Arrow?

I know that the price difference is about double.

The Arrow is €399.00.

The Blade is €198.00

I have used the Postal key and I found it heavy not responsive like a
good key should be.

I have used Piero's high end keys - particularly his cootie key -
Sculpture Swing - Stainless steel high performance cootie key with
magnetic return which has a price of €460.00 and it's everything a
cootie key should be.

For the five minutes I used it, it was better than any key that I'd
ever used, but for €460.00 I could put up with the deficiencies of the
Bunnell Double Speed key, or the modified Vibrokeyer, or the nice but
unobtainable Kungsport Import or equally unobtainable G3HGE's TWanger.

I prefer the Nye Viking / Johnson type keys or if I don't go USA
style, I like the PS-213A type - the real ones are rare but worth
finding.
