Symphony

 Back

The Symphony is a beautiful saxony wheel. Just the image you would expect a spinning wheel to be. You can picture the "ladies in waiting" gathered together in the castle spinning as a group, all on The Symphony. This wheel has lots of finely turned wood, attention to detail, and all the features spinners ask for.

Start with a good size wheel diameter - 61cm - that rotates on bearing sleeves that contribute to effortless treadling. The double treadles are well engineered to be comfortable through long spinning sessions. The flyer is double drive but also has Scotch tensioning for single drive use (at no additional charge). The Symphony is made of European alder and birch. This is a perfect wheel for reenactors.
