ihad a meucci around 1990-91. got a schon about 92. sold meucci shortly thereafter(actually decided to the very night I got the schon!). kept schon(R6) twentysome years until it was stolen.
looked for a replacement schon ever since losing the other(and happily found a fine one!). NEVER...
no pics, no price= absolutely minimal interest to me. if you're protecting future income, do it. this posting takes my time up. I don't give my time up freely. doing it for little return isn't happening for me.
hundreds of postings out there, not just a few. szamboti's to noname, unknowns...
I will go with used schons as well. custom? production? who cares? I've never, ever shot with a schon I didn't like. never. ever. i'll sell a lot of my cues (not all). my schon will not be one of the last 4 to go(I need to make a list!).
saw a young guy last night at chandley's in...

that big old 5x10 is a blast to play on! shot maybe two hours on it Monday night. i'm liking chandly's. good room.
gotta remember today is the day when many, many , many people will do things on line in prep for Christmas. cabelas , bass pro, ebay, etc are probably straining at the seams. I've sent out one order, heading back online for another.
it took me maybe 10 minutes of playing with a schon sr6 cue I had just bought to realize I was going to get rid of my MS-1 meucci. balance was better, stainless steel joint instead of plastic, micarta ferrules instead of 1 1/4" meucci ferrules. overall big difference in the cues.

cicero's balabuska
in an older billiards digest(I think) there was an article about a pool player running into cicero at a tourney, planning on raffling off his balabuska. the guy immediately bought ALL the tickets, thus buying the balabuska. not sure what the month year was but I am sure it...
