The final, missing part for Mrs. GeneJockey's new bassoon arrived yesterday, but she said it didn't fit. She was mistaken. A little "cork grease" (aka Chapstick), and it fit right in. Then I was so jazzed for her, I put the whole thing together (after lightly greasing the cork), but she was too tired to play it last night. She did spend an hour with it today, though. She seems pretty happy with it, and has not raised a stink about the Litespeed, so I think I'm safe there. The fact that the bassoon was >4 times the price of the Litespeed no doubt helped.

In my experience, a happy wife does not guarantee that I am happy. However, an unhappy wife will make damn sure I am also unhappy, right along with her.

I do note that this one has the usual riser stem, like so many other Litespeeds I've seen.

I checked my supplies and I have 2 x 110, 1 x 120, and 1x 130mm quill stem, plus 3 Cinelli Nerve handlebars. And two Turbo saddles, since this comes without one.
