Well I played with a Kilby for last 10 years, sold it about 8 months ago and tried Molinari, Longoni,Starkey, Dieckman and a Schuler. I just ordered a new Kilby again, still emailing out the details, but so far, ebony forearm, pomelle bubinga handle and amboyna butt piece with some ivory inlays and custom rings, 2 12mm shafts , as always Ron is great to deal with.
