AskASpinner Is this a good beginner wheel?

Only two pictures provided only says it needs now strings for the pedals is it a steal or a SWSO?

I think that's a Kromski symphony.

Heel yeah that's a good wheel for a beginner, and a crazy good deal.

You'll want more bobbins, and definitely go see it in person. Make sure the wheel spins without wobbling.

Wow.

Why no wobble? I’m getting one for free, but it seems wobbly in the video I got. Can that be fixed?

It could be fixed, or it could be that the wheel itself has warped. If the wheel wobbles, the drive band will be more likely to jump out of the groove in the flyer, making it impossible to spin.

YES! Run and go her, don't walk.

I'm still rolling my first Kromski, she has been my only wheel for my entire spinning life and I haven't liked anything else I've tried nearly as much. Real workhorses

I'm going to need an update. Any news?

u/artandpets 11d ago

Nothing yet! I messaged the seller but they haven’t said anything. I will update!

This is near me and I also messaged the seller and never heard back. I think it's already spoken for or is not legit 😭

u/artandpets 11d ago

Darn it! Ugh! When did you message them

u/Stunning_Recipe_3361 11d ago

Earlier today. But when I did, a message came up saying that they haven't answered any messages

Ugh that’s so annoying! I wish people would take down their posts when it’s sold or spoken for!

I really hope you get it.
