Winged Bat & Bleeds
By Michael Waters

Craig,

   Are you supplying kits for the big winged bat setup or what??
'cause I'd certianly like to see one in operation after your
description the other day.  My wife and I where in fits of laughter
after reading your posting, please send me a video of one in
operation.........!!!!!!

Dennis Condon from Sydney built a Duo-Art Vorsetzer and made adjustable
bleeds for it out of nylon screws (I think!) because of this problem of
not having uniform valves. It performs perfectly, he has mounted them
so that they can be adjusted while the music is playing. Why haven't
all re-producers got this luxury????
