(and why you suggest them)

You could send your Koetsu Black to Roberto Torlai .. he's the official Benz Micro repairman and retipper ..
I know him very well and I can assure you he's the best retipper here in Europe

Yup, they've got my Koetsu Rosewood....for the 2nd time due to a stylus/platter interface

 

Best tipper in Europe... yeh apart from Expert Stylus.

 

Thanks for the replies. I'll make some phone calls

 

Anyone else a bit worried that there are only two blokes in Europe that can re-tip a stylus? They must charge a fair whack for their services?

 

Just had the quote through today from Expert to retip my Koetsu Rosewood.
£120 UK , not too bad ? :rds2:

 

Well, if I were running a duopoly I'd charge you a lot more than that! Seems a fair price to me

I guess you're right because a "baby bird" told me Expert Stylus are really great in retipping lately .. and knowing the ears of that baby bird I'm sure about the justness of this suggestion

 

Sounds excellent.

Let us know what the results are like

 

I will.
When it's back i'll be selling it as I've got a Blue Angel Mantis being made for me in SA.
It's custom made....BA send me pictures of different hardwoods for me to chose
